Where did the myth that sport bikes are "more difficult to ride slow" originate?

[QUOTE="DDrum, post: 1938562, member: 238155"] The seating position of a sport bike makes it more difficult to ride at a slow speed compared to a standard upright seating position bike of the same weight. It is harder to balance at low speed if the sport bike has very low bars and high pegs which most higher performance models do. I wouldn't say it is harder to ride at slow speeds than a heavy cruiser, but harder than a standard bike that weighs the same. It is simple physics. [/QUOTE]
