There is an emphasis in some circles on fast 'street' riding. It's the subject of a lot of brag. But the 'blind' corners you reference are a forceful argument against it. Even if you know the road, as you have envisioned already you will never know what is waiting for you around any of these blind turns. Another biker going 'wide' into your lane...a sports car driving 'fast', its two left wheels on or even slightly over the center-line and in your lane. The odds are that these kinds of events will not occur at the same moment you're passing through a particular blind turn...but by those same odds, such an event occurring as you pass through is not impossible.
Approach blind corners and intersections with a great deal of caution, with the thought in mind that 'this is the time something's going to happen', and be prepared to react. The last thing you should be worrying about at a blind place on the street, in my opinion, is how quickly you're going to transit the section. Even worries about being 'smooth' or 'precise' are missing the point. Just getting through such a section unscathed is more than enough as far as accomplishments go. There's been some great advice offered already, about this...
Leathers are a great idea. You'll be thanking your foresight and wisdom for wearing such after a crash--at which time you will never be without such protective gear again. That is, if you weren't convinced about their usefulness before you crash, you will be after.
Go to a track and participate in track days or the like if you want to work on your cornering skills... As someone else said, the track is a 'controlled' environment. If you crash, there are no grills and radiators, or ditches, or trees to contend with, and normally, the track surface (if you stay on the beaten path, at least) will be clean and smooth.
After a crash on the street I attended Keith Code's California (they actually travel around the country) Superbike School Level I training. I also read his books, Twist of The Wrist I and II. I did these things in order to understand 'why' I'd crashed, what mistakes I'd made that lead me to it. When I made my intention known, the instructors were very helpful in pointing out the flaws in my riding style while they taught me the 'art' of cornering. (I'm scheduled for Level II training this Fall). I turn my motorcycle entirely differently now than I did before attending the school. The physics are the same, but that's about it. Not to say CSS is the only road to such understanding. It's not. My point here is to urge you to select a formal path to learn to corner, one that takes place in a controlled environment, overseen by experts who can provide you educated feedback and whose purpose it is to teach you to ride and corner better. You can learn this on your own, but it will take you far longer--and there will be gaps in your understanding--than if you get professional assistance with the task.
In the early 90's I used to ride the Angeles Crest highway here, in SoCal. One day our small group came upon an accident scene. It was a blind corner, such as you describe. Right at the apex there was a car (Mustang) with a smashed-in grill and headlight, and a sport bike (Kawi green), laying on its side on the dirt shoulder. Right in front of the Mustang was a person down on his knees, his hands on the pavement, his helmet (still on his head) resting against the pavement. His visor was up. I remember that clearly. He looked like he was praying with his head pressed to the ground, perhaps like a Muslim at prayers. There was some liquid running down out of his helmet and over the pavement just as there was liquid running from beneath the radiator toward the low side of the road.
It was a very slow corner. The guys who'd been riding with the dude said they were taking it easy. The guy was leading and taking the corner at no more than 15 or 20 miles an hour when the Mustang showed up. Reportedly, the car hadn't been going all that fast itself, 15 or 20. But it was a pretty sharp turn. The car had crossed over the double yellows to the outside of the turn. The guy on the bike was hugging the yellow. The Mustang saw what was coming and applied his brakes (the guys in the accident group saw the front end dive). The guy on the bike 'never knew what hit him' one of his friend's said. Thinking about it later, that rider must almost assuredly have known what was about to happen (unless he had his eyes closed). For whatever reason, he just didn't react. Maybe there was no time. Maybe he 'froze'.
I will never forget that rider kneeling there, praying. We asked why no one was helping the guy and one of his friends said he was dead. I don't know how they'd determined that. It looked like he hadn't been touched. He must have got up from the strike, got to his knees, not felt good and bent over and came to rest like we saw him. I don't know for a fact that he died. It spooked us. Since we didn't witness the accident, only its aftermath, we turned around and went back the way we came.
The point of the story is, it's challenge enough getting through a blind corner safely, let alone quickly. When your number's up, it's up. But no sense in pressing for an early departure. Not over something so trivial as being known as 'fast in the twisties'. Sounds like an epitaph to me: "He was fast in the twisties".
The 'Busa is a capable cornering bike. It's heavy which is it's biggest drawback. But as you point out (and if you're like me) you'll run out of potential before it does. Just ride it intelligently.
Sorry to be so 'preachy'. It comes with old age, I guess. (Note: I practice what I preach. The comment about 'old age' is a hint...)
Why do you suppose it's called a "BLIND CORNER"?
