ok i race cross country and usually blow threw corners pretty fast i was just wondering how it cornered i dont have any friends that have one for me to ride and base a opinion on does it corner as well as a 450r or what i mean if i bought one i would be putting shocks and steering stem and dampener on it but i just want to hear what everyones opinion is on the cornering im a big dude and it felt layed out right for me when i sat on it at the dealer but to drop 7800 bucks on something im not to sure about when i all ready have a modded to hell 400ex and 450r just want some insight thanx

I'm a big guy too, and I've found that transitioning my weight to the front when cornering works best.

I'm 6'6" and 260...

if you are coming from a 450 you will have to adjust your driving style. it does not corner the same. but it should be faster in the corners once you get used to it. slow down before the corner and power through. dont try to powerslide though, it wont happen. the 700xx has alot of traction evrywhere.
