I think all Elwood is saying that self-control is a baseline for riding any sort of motorcycle. But on a supersport, it’s not enough in itself…you have to have the experience and ability combination, what we’d call “skill,” to handle it safely and successfully.
As a new rider myself (about 18 months), I sure feel I have self-control, but there are times when I take a turn wide, or am less than smooth with the throttle that I definitely know I lack the skill part of the equation.
