With my BA I experiance it very unstable from 0 to like 'walking speed'- the front wheel like to go in any direction except straight forward! Making driving in a traffic jam very nervous! As soon as speed picks up its stable as a rock. Hasse
For the low speeds you talk of remember that we have a wet clutch. So don't hesitate to keep the clutch in the friction range (feather it) and use the rear brake only. When the bike seems unstable you can give the clutch plates a bit more friction (let the clutch out a bit more while in the friction zone) with a bit more throttle and straighten the bike up while also applying the rear brake to keep from becoming part of something in front of you. Oh, and don’t look down! Look where you want to go! Having just returned from the Georgia Rally, I’ve got to say that the beltway around the District(DC)is a great place to learn all about the friction zone. Can you say stop and go and 1st and 2nd gear idling?
