Another consideration is that at my low level of expertise any gain would be theoretical. With lots more practice I might one day go that way... a long way off, I reckon

This is the best video of a trike cornering I've found - at the very beginning of the video and from 7:40 - turn the volume down as there's lots of wind noise :

The later image of the trike indeed shows that the BB is quite low, 25-26 cm above the road?
