no, my brother in law has a 2001 T-Sport.. he raves about the handling. Of course, he's a die hard Harley guy so he's a little biased, but he says it handles great. Still seems a bit top-heavy to me, but the seating position's nice for my 6'1" frame with the pegs in a nice spot under you.. very standard position, which I like. It's one of a very few Hardleys I would consider owning if I hit the lotto and already had all the bikes I like.
