Cousin bought one as a nail for 300 UKP back in...cripes...1992. After couriering on it for a few months we went 2's up to the Netherlands on it (a fair jaunt from Scotland). No problems whatsoever, comfortable and sipped gogo juice. Belgium and the netherlands are fairly windy and it handled OK. Sure you just weren't being a tightarsed kiwi and using squared off tyres or something?
If you really want an under braked, evil handling weaving piece of $hite then buy a GPX750. I had the misfortune to own one of these after 3 very happy years on the GPX600.
