Thinking of buying, but have a question?

I´m thinking of buying an F3 smokin Joe edition, however I drove the bike today and found that at low speeds for example pulling away from the street lights and making a turn the bars buckle into the turn and almost feel like the bike wants to collapse. Kind of hard to explain I guess. My first thought was that the forks could be bent, but it seemed to do it evenly both right and left. The bike did however seem to handle completely fine even at 140km/hr, no wobble while cornering or anything which if the forks were bent I would have expected. My ZX-6 does nothing like this though, I´m just wondering if this is normal for a CBR, or if it´s just as simple as getting used to a different bike. Does anyone know if this is common, or if they´ve found the samething. Also curious if 28,000 kms is getting up there for this particular engine or if they have a good history, and I would get lots more life out of it.
