Obviously, there can be mechanical issues that cause the bike to drift one way or the other. My last two touring bikes were frame mounted fairings and both would drift a little one way or the other depending on what the wind was doing and/or how the bike was loaded. Even if I wasn't packed for a trip, I almost always had "something" in the saddlebags. Is it possible that there's a little more weight on one side or the other? All I know is, as long as I had a hand on the bars, regardless of how light that touch was, there was no noticable drifting issues.

Just a thought!

My SG has been very impressive since I first test drove it. The first thing I noticed was how stable it was. It was like it wanted to be straight up and down and track true. I ride with no hands quite often, not bragging at all, just really enjoy it. About a week ago went about fifteen miles with no handle bar contact, and it was not a straight road. I love my bike!
