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."
