| Jon,
I've been trying to convince myself of all sorts of explanations. It could just be something stupid like somebody fannying with the steering damper or shock settings while it's been in the shop. You're right that the cost does, err... focus the mind a bit, but the only pains I got were in my wrists.
I have had a short play on a 996S and a 748 (Brands Experience) previously, and they were both fine - though the 996S did get a little bit upset if you were obliged to change line mid-corner (it was so subtle that I'd expect it to be dialled out by suspension adjustment if it was mine).
Most of the other Dukes in P&H are 999s - nice bikes, and a darn sight more comfortable, but they just don't do it for me.
