You should always be overly cautious when riding twisties that are unfamiliar to you as you just don’t know how tight that bend is unless you can clearly see all the way through it. Even then you can be caught by surprise by the camber or accumulated gravel etc. What if it’s a blind hairpin!?
The trick of course is to brake before the bends, not in them and make speed in the straights. If you find yourself going too fast through the corner, then you didn’t slow enough prior to entry based on how much of the corner you could see prior to entry.
You can still be caught by surprise if it’s a complex bend though, so if you are into it too fast, usually the best thing to do is to lean harder (by countersteering) if you’re on a non-cruiser type bike. The bike can probably lean a heck of a lot more than you’ve had the guts to try before. Look at motorcycle racing, those guys are almost horizontal going round bends fast.
If you’re on a cruiser (with limited ground clearance), then you shouldn’t be trying to ride fast in the twisties anyway as more leaning could cause hard parts to touch the road (not good).
Personally, having done it when I was a newbie, I don’t enjoy trying to ride fast in the twisties as I don’t enjoy scaring myself (and I did scare myself on more than a few occasions). No biggie, and I don’t feel any less masculine for it
I also generally choose to ride alone (or two-up), so am not subject to peer pressure, bravado or the herd mentality (which have been the undoing of so many motorcyclists).
There are a lot of stone-dead or wheelchair-bound “fast guys”.
As they say, “There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots”.
The same applies to motorcyclists. Think seriously about that…
