learning to ride fast, but safely

This might be a daft question.. but here goes...

I've had my ST2 for a year now.. thanks to you guys for your knowledge and encouragement before buying it. I love it and have done about 3500 miles on her over that year.

However.. I still consider myself to be a novice rider and still don't have the confidence to lean the bike too much or taking corners at speed. The bike is plenty capable, its my riding that worries me. It is probably just a confidence thing as I've not had any incidents yet. In a straight line I've had it up to 120mph (on an empty road!), but come to a corner and I'm much more sedate.

Do you know of anywhere (or anyone!) that can teach me how to ride this amazing bike properly? I'm not thinking of taking her to some kind of track day and be intimidated by more experienced riders, but somewhere where I can be taught how to ride confidently at speed, but safely within the limits of the bike and myself.

I do admire other riders who seem to lean the bikes into fast corners and talk with joy of riding twisty country roads. I'd like to do that too...

Any help or ideas??
