Were the tyre pressures correct? Yes, a 600 is going to be easier to get round the corners than the heavier thou, which does require some work. I wouldn't say it has a reputation for slow/reluctant steering. Hard to say if it's just something I've got used to, as I haven't ridden anything lighter in a long while. The gen 1 is a package that perhaps takes a little time to appreciate properly. It is more of an all-rounder than a focused sports bike. The gen 2 would probably feel more nimble if it's litre performance you're after. What are you looking for in your next bike?
