I had exactly the same thoughts as you when I first rode my bike. Felt it was too low at the back and the front suspension was too hard with too much pre-load. Now with nearly 900 miles on the bike the suspension is starting to soften up and work better than before. It is still fairly slow to steer but not as bad as it was. I'm going to have a chat with the dealer when it goes in for its first service on Saturday about perhaps raising the ride height a little to speed up the steering, trouble is that I now like the stability so only really want to speed up the initial turn in... so adjusting the rake would probably be a little too radical.
Suggest you give it 1000 miles to let everything settle down, and I suspect you will find a difference by that stage.
