Both my bikes are low end. One is a basic aluminum framed commuter type with an 8 speed internal gear hub. A really nice bike for the likes of me, it rides nice, and does what it's supposed to do well.

Yet, my even lower end Schwinn single speed just calls to me. The longish frame, the fit, the slower handling. I swear if I ever lose this bike I'll have to get a replacement that's similar in layout. If I had more money to blow, I'd probably get a Pashley Guv'nor. That type of bike speaks to me equally well, I imagine it would ride the way I prefer.

Funny thing is when I think of slow handling bikes, they all are quicker handling compared to any motorcycle I've ever owned or ridden. It's probably only a few more ounces of lean to turn my slow handling bicycle compared to my quicker handling bicycle.
