Seat height and handling

So I've been fooling around with the seat position from high to low, and back. I noticed that the bike feels like it's more willing to dip into a lean and more stable during the turn with the seat in the low position. I guess the difference of centre of gravity makes a difference.

I've found the opposite, I'm more comfortable with it in the high position

Being 6"7, it stays in the high position for me...
wow, i bet the wind screen doesn't do much for you..

i'm about 6', and i definitely find riding with the seat height in the high position to be more comfortable on the long haul.

Although running through the same stretch of roads, I find the bike reacts differently to my steering inputs. It's definitely quicker to respond when i'm sitting lower.
