Motorcycles excel at tight turns, especially the little 250s. In my BRC the turns we practices in were like a moderately sized sidewalk turn, definitely nothing like a street corner.
But the other posters are definitely right about slowing down early. You don’t want to go along with traffic, you want to control it. Force them to slow down early, make sure everybody is cool with how things are going, and keep a close eye on your rear view. My mirrors and my signal lights are the most important safety gear I have, even more important than my brightly colored full face helmet.
