When I call the SP 'flighty' I mean by comparison with the Strada - which is far harder to deflect from its chosen line. The SP can be flicked around with half the effort.

OH NO !
Another plan shot down in flames
I never got to ride a late-851/888 cos the early ones didnt let my knees fit behind the fairing (NOTE for Tim !!!)
I just assumed they could all be set up to turn as well as the beast.

Tim - the early SP frames are easy to spot cos the front 'bend' by the front of the tank is a welded join on the sp and a bend on the strada.
