I assume my '87 Sport SX is very similar, and while she is quick I am not sure I would call her twitchy.

Thanks BG! I've measured my Premio with a T-square and the HT is a degree or two steeper than the ST. I don't see any buckling or warping, so I just assumed that was the design. I serviced the headset this afternoon, and I think the bike feels a little more stable now. Could be the placebo effect...
