By poor I should say misaligned. Trail is a rider preference thing some like a short bike while others like a longer trail that gives more feedback. For a reference the KTM 390 is VERY short low 80's vs GSXR600 102 both bikes turn in is very good i.e knee down...the whole knee down thing is a heated topic in itself...But both bikes have a very different feel mid corner out one very stable arc the other you need to maintain a feel on the bars that holds the bike in the arc. The shorter bike seems to travel from one side to the other nice while the longer trail needs more lever to go side to side. Trade offs are ft end feel and stability. Hi speed wobbles are a battle between ft and rear effects caused by misalignments they can be induced by frame flex under power or braking. Bikes are much more than ft forks and rear shock. Yes All Balls are the ones I use as well.
