I've never ridden a supermoto but they have always looked fun. Making the transition to sticking out the leg and purposely sliding the rear on pavement seems challenging to me
Sticking the leg out feels natural on slow tight turns, but sliding the rear on pavement is disconcerting. I race the 560 SMR on the big tracks in the Open Singles class, and I take the turns with a knee out like on a sportbike. Such a light bike on big hot racing slicks, the grip is tremendous, so no "backing it in." Though I've come close in hard braking zones for turn entry, since the front end dives so much (big squishy suspension) and the rear end gets really light.
