Never had a bike, but I had a TVR griff a few years ago, first week of ownership, I approached a bend too quickly, also it was one of those bends that begin gradual and then curve round at an increasingly tight angle... I nearly binned it, had a real fight to stay on the tarmac... then headed straight home, slowly and shaking all the way. Learned that day that those cars need real respect, or they will kill you.
Also with a TVR it's not like you'd have been able to drive it often enough to get used to it, given the amount of time it'd have spent back at the dealers getting fixed...
On of my former colleagues had one and a lovely looking and sounding thing it was, however he decided it was going to be his daily driver and it was quite a regular occurrence for him to call and say he wasn't able to make it in that day as the car was broken again.
