[QUOTE="Twigg, post: 1182290, member: 27619"] The most effective and safe way to attack bends on a public road is "slow in, fast out". That is different to a track where you accelerate right to the braking point then hard on the brakes and finally tip in to the apex. You can't do that on the road because you have zero margin for error, and you need that safety margin to allow for slow moving or stopped vehicles, pedestrians, gravel on the apex and a million other things that don't exist on the track. The consequence is that when you slow for the corner, the brake shifts the CC to standby, so it disengages without you having to think about it. You then can make the corner under full manual, and hit "resume" when you have powered out. All that said, I have never really used the CC on roads that require much "corner planning". Usually I'm having too much fun :) Cruise helps me relax on long, high-speed cruises. One useful and under-reported feature of CC is that it allows you to pick your preferred speed (limit + a bit), and not go OVER it. This can be wallet saving on a bike that will hit three figure speeds without any apparent discomfort. [/QUOTE]
