Basic rule of throttle control: once the throttle is cracked on, it is rolled on evenly, smoothly and constantly througout the remainder of the turn. "Keith Code - A twist of the wrist". I'm not an expert myself, but that book is a good read. I think you might like it. I don't hear your revs going up while cornering. It's probably why the guy on the supermoto is faster...
You ride a bike off the rear tire most of the time. The front wheel is used to pivot the front of the frame in the desired direction if travel. Once that and the lean come together you don't really need the front wheel for anything. I hood the throttle steady for the apex then apply it liberally immediately thereafter. That's on an Aprilia sxv550 which is no slouch.
I'm pretty sure the idea is to keep your revs even, not to increase them, in a turn (increasing them means you're accelerating which means your weight shifts back to your rear tire, causing you to lose traction from your front... I think). You roll the throttle on gradually because your revs will drop in a turn because your bike tries to slow down so you counteract that. I could be wrong though, I'm no expert either, only been riding for a bit over a year >.>
Rewatching the video, he'd pretty much have to be rolling on the throttle as you described or else his engine would be spooling down instead of staying even.
No shame in getting passed.
There's always someone faster.
The point of riding is to have fun....looks like you had fun.
Speed safe =)

You can't beat a (good) supermoto with a good driver in the corners... :)
On straight roads they may lack some power, but in the corners...

GoPro Hero 3 Black edition. Came out grainy, but that is my own lack of editing skills.
Oh and you were holding that moto up. You got BRAAAAAAAAAPED big time as he went by for it too. Hahaha. Motos rule, just the facts.

You have to love a supermoto lol
BRAAAAAAP!!! :D

You just got passed by a dirtbike on slicks! :)
It happens. Be on the lookout for Shay on his SM on Pally!

What kind of camera do you use to film your rides?
Damn I don't think I have the balls to pass somebody in a corner like that.
"fast" is so relative thing
To drag knee, buddy. I'll punch it in the straights, but I wont drag knee over 60 mph. It simply gets too dangerous on the street.
The rider of which was willing to drag knee at 80 on a public street... I am not. My limit is 60 tops.
wOrk Your SkiLLz Up NooB! Jajaja!!
Damn auto correct.
KTM power (L)
Please don't listen to curly.....
That's bullshit you're not willing to go faster than 60, you're riding 81 at 00:31.
He was faster, just admit it. ;-)
