Does the 748R Steer Faster Than the Other 748/9** Bikes?

As the title says.

With all my previous 748/9** series bikes, I've had to change the steering head angle to "race" in order to get them to steer a bit quicker. However, even with the head angle set to "road/normal" the 748R feels a lot quicker steering than an unaltered 748BP or 996S (although probably not as "pointy" as they did when the head angle was set to "race").

Perhaps it's the lighter wheels or even the Ohlins forks? Or perhaps my bike has been set-up by its previous owner with a bit more ride-height?

Have any other 748R owners noticed this, or is it just my imagination?
