I am 6' 225 lbs and ride the bike like a sport bike, seeing triple digits almost every time I am on it and iv'e got 28 yrs of riding experience on almost 20 different bikes and i find the handling to be just fine for this type of bike. I dont believe a brace is needed. It may help a little but by no means a necessary item needed at all. Just my honest opinion. The bike is a semi heavy bike with a thin neck so its not going to feel as planted as a sport tourer or sport bike but for what it is I feel it does the job well.
