Very Good bikes.
On a street bike, at least from my experience, it's not about throwing your weight around. It's about being gentle. I drive a 1985 Suzuki GS550E. (Soon upgrading to a Yamaha R6.) and anytime I want to turn, i'm just very gentle, and very smooth with leaning. I've not yet been in a situation where i've had to quickly hurl my weight around.
Honestly, once you're comfortable on a bike and you know everything about it, and are respectful about the power it has, you just have to pay attention to other people. I've had to ride into the shoulder several times because of a soccer mom who doesn't pay attention and just comes over ontop of me.
In short, just be careful. Have respect for it and spend time getting to know it, how it responds, and all that good stuff.
Have fun.
