And actually the twitchiness is not the bike, but the rider. Since you can't use your shoulders to anchor your arms, you have to learn to keep your arms quiet. The recumbent, especially a short wheel-based one, is very responsive to the slightest input from your arms.
But once mastered, the combination of the low center of gravity combined with high pedals will have you amazed at how deeply you can go into a turn with full power and high speed. Its like driving the best small sports car ever.
