Scraping exhaust while cornering

You will gain a maximum of 3 degrees reduced lean by hanging off, noticeable but not life-changing. Correct steering technique is far more important. Look at old videos from the late 1970s of Mike Hailwood; he didn't hang off, yet could corner faster than those who were, often even leaning less.

3 degrees, hard to believe only 3 degrees. What's the correct steering technique?

German magazine MOTORRAD did a test with a variation of bikes. I have a translation put up here http://forums.superbikeschool.com/topic/4697-against-the-flow/
 
Correct steering means getting it done very, very quickly instead of (like me) taking time and distance. The quicker you change direction, the less lean you will need. But there are many subtle skills needed, which is why only a few people win races and the rest of us trundle along
