I doubt the low side by the coach was due to a deficiency of the bike. DTC isn't doing anything for the front.
As I said: started in rain mode and finished in sport. Didn't do race or slick, but I did ride it at a track. If possible ride this bike at a track; it's the only place to sample what this bike is capable of doing. As for deficiencies, those are almost always found in the riders, before they show up in the machines.

I haven't ridden an RSV4, KTM RC8R, Ducati 1198 or an Augusta F4, so I can't say, anything other than I found the S1000RR, to be a very confidence inspiring and fun motorcycle to ride. I though that the bike was very stable under hard braking and tip in, as well as side to side transitions were without drama. The ergos were very comfortable for me (6' tall ; 33" inseam).
