I tend to agree with most of his comments .

I agree about the cornering and braking ....

Just so stable and safe feeling .

In the last 6 months I've found that it goes down down down quite happily .

I've not dragged the cylinders on the roads and have no intention of deliberately doing it .

But its very satisfying getting back from a gentle ride through the Brecons and seeing the tyres cleaned all the way around .

Surprised no one's bitten at his assertion

"The R1200S was BMW’s decent next-stab at fast and sexy but it was too long and ponderous to cut it as a proper sportsbike, and arguably a backwards step from the R1100S."

I Think they have a bit of an error regarding the exhaust routing - though....

(HP2s)

Al
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....
