996r advice please

Guys,
I desperately need your help. I'm in the fortunate position to be considering buying a 996r. I've taken, what appears to be, an immaculate example out for a test ride today, and I'm really disappointed. The thing was virtually unrideable! I couldn't get it to turn in to roundabouts, and I couldn't input any minor steering adjustments on fast sweepers. The dealer's telling me that these are merely set-up problems. Is he right or could it be that it's never going to suit my riding style? For info, I'm 6' 2" and weigh about 13.5 stone. I've ridden loads of sports bikes, but my normal riding style is not to 'hang off'. If I'm investing 14 big ones, I need to know that I'm gonna be able to get on with it. Any views would be appreciated - especially those that tell me to buy it!
