It, admittedly has been many, many, years since I last threw a leg over the top tube of a Moto but I seem to remember feeling like once set up in the turn it just kept going round with no further input necessary until it was time to ... unturn. Literally like riding on rails. I loved that locked in feeling of being 'planted' in the turn. No bicycle has ever given me that kind of security in turns.
