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

[QUOTE="Ming, post: 1938573, member: 155653"] because a lot of riders are n00b squids that can only ride in a straight line fast. riding slow requires balance, which many people lack. you have to balance the bike at slow speeds because the gyroscopic effect that keeps the bike right-side up doesn't kick in until you are going faster (eg maybe 5mph+) apparently they did not get their slow maneuvering down before they hopped onto a supersport that's why they "out grow" a bike and want to move up to a liter bike. I think it is more than just a myth. it is fact, proven over and over again. [/QUOTE]
