The thou' was so nice to ride (apart from the apparent reluctance to turn) and I'm pleased that this can be made better with a few tweaks. I will try a 600 too, since it might suit better as a first bike, ideally a foxeye if I can find one!
My foxeye was a bit of lump when cornering and felt heavy as you described when I first got it. The tyres were squared off so they were the first thing to replace. It mad a huge difference but still not happy. So I set up the suspension for my weight and wow what a difference.
So new tyres = £220
Suspension set up = me and a mate with a tape measure.
You do not a;ways need to throw money at the bike and if your getting it from a dealer ask them to set it for your weight.
