Sounds like the bike has it's own personality and is just a matter of time in the saddle and experiencing what it likes and doesn't like. When comparing it to other bikes it may lack in some aspects but it does have strengths in other aspects.
I went through some soul searching after getting my CTX700 and expecting it to handle better than it does. I of course was comparing it to a Vstrom650 that I rode for 7 years and really bonded with as time went on.
Ride according to the bikes strengths and stay aware of what it won't do to make you smile. I gave up looking for perfection years ago and just ride or drive what is comfy for me. Being comfy may cost me a bunch initially but it is worth it.
