I don't put my head way down because I don't like the feedback I get from my bike that way. I almost don't feel any feedback doing it, so I keep it up more, I feel it puts me in a solid position to make corrections mid turn if the need arises. Putting your head down is a basic lesson. My theory is the basics are there to get a good foundation going. The faster you get, the more you'll make subtle changes to your form so you feel more comfortable. Look at Colin Edwards. That dude's head is way the fuck out there. Looks cool as hell, too.
