Probably not an actually physical tendency as much as a perceived tendency due to the clip-on style bars having less leverage than the wider dirt bike inspired bars on the 250.

Thats what I was thinking but I think my bars are actually wider than his which makes no sense to me. My dirtbike doesnt do that at all. Maybe it just depends on the positioning/weight of the bike cus Adam said his old R6 did it and also his old Katana. Just takes a little getting used to.

whatever you are experiencing is just the diference between going from a dirtbike to a street bike. you'll get used to it easily.
