Riding a supermotard the correct way is totally different than riding a sportbike. Since I do both, I've had to change my style on the SM in order to go faster.

And yes, it feel very weird.

Sportbikes feel WEIRD!
not that I know what I'm talkin about but the road race body position works for wider sweeping turns. Foot out and opposite lean is moto-style to get around
tight turns faster and works better when you have high bars like a SM or MX bike.
This guy is showboating, not looking for the next turn.
These guys are racing, making time.
