Yea that's part of my set-up problems...once I dropped the front a couple mm's and a few other things,I was very happy with the bike in general. Also,I think it also depends on what tires you are running. The Pirelli's tend to be a "quick turn in" tire,so slowing turn in down a bit isn't necessarily a bad idea. Plus,I'm OLD and tend to stick to sweepers and flowing country roads rather than roads like the Dragon these days,so it suited me fine. If you are running a Pirelli or Michelin and are more interested in 100+mph sweepers rather than tight 25 mph twisties,it's a good set-up. IMHO,of course...
