Pretty good variety in my class. At least three riders had more than three decades of riding experience, two were noobs (both had heavy cruiser bikes), and two trailered out track bikes. The rest were modern sportbikes. One of the track bikes (modified R6) still had the factory stickers on the tires.
The only time we went fast was warming up the tires. The exercises were done individually and at slow speed so the instructors could critique our form. It was humbling to do the exercise in front of the instructors and other riders. The main thing is to get the basics of looking through the turn and leaning the upper body off the bike done right.
Speed and style can be added later. But at the end of the class, it was surprising to see a fully-dressed Harley circling the cones at the same
rate as the track bikes. Highly recommended.
