Word on the street is that Superbike School is worth a look.

How did you find the stay upright course?

I enjoyed it, learnt a bit, reinforced a lot of what I was already doing. I haven't done one with ASS yet, so I can't compare them. But I got my monies worth out of it.
Twist of the Wrist II is a good read as well (for the theory side) just need to go and practice what you read a little at a time until it all becomes 2nd nature.

I've done HART, StayUpright and ASBS (sorry CSBS now).
All have their good points, but my suggestions for which one to do when are:
HART Advanced Level 8/9 - newbie/back to riding after long break
StayUpright Advanced - ride regularly but need to boost confidence/handling/cornering skills
ASBS Level 1 - reasonably confident rider wanting to impove themselves.
The distinctions aren't black and white. Everyone will get someone out of each of these courses no matter what level they're currently at. But if you have to choose one out of the 3 I think the above descriptions should help decide.

Hart do do a braking & cornering course, but expect you to have compleated the advanced rider training first. Both courses are about $200, so it's about the same price as doing the 1 day Superbike school. It's one of the many things I'm planning to save for
