Was looking through the '05 Sept. issue of Bike rag that I picked up. I'm not one that takes magazines seriously at all, but they had an interesting article on cornering.
They listed, (ITHO) the 50 top cornering bikes ever made. After applying their voodoo math, the ST was rated #23.
I would say that I'd have to agree with them on this as the ranking they also gave the BSA Goldie was pretty much on as I remember it from way back when.
The 600 Daytona made it high up and the 650 Daytona made #3.
Remember, they applied their fuzzy logic math to the list.
The formula they used was:
Lean Angle Potential +
Flickability+
Midcorner Speed+
Exit Drive+
Exceeding Expectations/
Risk of Hospital Food X
Involvement =
Overall Rating
Linear Mode
