I can't imagine spending this kind of money on a road bike and feeling like the steering was not precise, or that the bike was hesitant to turn in on corners, or that the front end is going to slide out.
I realize the Roadmachine is BMC's "endurance" geometry, but a road bike like this should still make you feel like you can rail corners if you want to.
I have the exact opposite experience. The Roadmachine handles amazingly. Now, of course I upgraded the wheels (Enve SES AR 3.4) and tires (Enve SES 700x29) so maybe that made a difference. It's easily my favorite road bike I've owned and I've had many including top brands...
