I think a big thing here is the riding position, at first I was not used to the forward controls as all my bikes prior were enduros, or old triumphs and you rode sitting straight up with your feet below you. It is just a more natural and secure feeling and better balance in that position (my opinion) and easier to do the figure eights or manuevering slowly around obstacles. It just takes some practice and seat time and you will get more proficient but I personally don't think that riding in this position will ever be as precise as per say the T100. Any thoughts??????
