    These bikes ride great in the twisties. I spend 7 months a year living in the Smoky Mtns. a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. My F6B handles great. I do have a Super Brace on the front forks and also have changed the front neck bearings to tapered ones due to my being gravitationally challenged to the point of about 270 lbs. If someone tells you they do not handle check out this video of a Wing on the Dragon.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxHNnOHuikI

    i never said they did not corner well...
    Perhaps the opposite, too well.
    They do it without complaint.

    This bike doesn't really like curves with posted limits under 30 mph. Of course you can take them, but the tighter the turn the more the wheelbase and weight take their toll.

    This bike is the *bomb* on longer, faster sweepers. For those of you who know Northern California and the Trinity Alps, it's a CA-299 bike more than a CA-36 bike. Totally.

    I love switchbacks on the F6B. I differ in my opinion. I think it handles them wonderfully.
