You mentioned Track/Sports so I assume you were referring to the AT. You really need to try pushing that button. To me the regular auto mode is terribad. That button will transform the transmission in a wonderful awe inspiring way full of gear holding, engine breaking and throttle responsiveness goodness.

As for the steering you need to find a more adventurous drive route. I was lucky when I test drove my first twin as the dealer took me to a nearby valley area with some curvy down hill stretches and the return trip was the same, but a nice hill climb where I could open it up a little.
