Exercising specific to motorcycling

I work out hard, 5-6 days a week. I also follow a very strict diet. I have been doing this since 2005, about the same time I started riding. It has had a very significant impact on how well I handle my bike.

Any kind of physical conditioning will help. For cardio, bicycling is a good one, especially for a sportbike riding position.

Weight training, on your entire body, will also help a lot.

Being in better physicial condition also means you bounce back quicker from an accident, God forbid.
