Welcome, you have found a wonderful place!!! The 21 inch front wheel is not perfect for fast cornering and you are using an on/off road machine as a sports bike so it may never really satisfy you!!!. The motor is as strong as strong can be BUT u may be better getting a sports bike for fast stuff and use the XT as nature intended!!! Have fun, Simon
