I believe BMWs mass down low make them harder to balance, many probably think differently. Try this, balance a stick with a weight on it in your hand, then remove the weight or turn the stick upside down. That mass up high stabilizes the bike, I noticed it riding top heavy bikes, I don't put my foot down a lot of times at a stop. Slow on my GS is tuffer then it is on other bikes I've been on. High mass is what make them hard to turn, low mass makes BMW feel like a bicycle compared to a lot.
@505197 My K1200 Lt is extreamly top heavy and only balances once moving...even at 2 mph. I have a hard time with the slow mo race due to the intergrated ABS.
hey, I'm the BMW rider. its my right not to wear a helmet at 1 mph if I want, so get your stereotyping face out of my butt dude. all harley riders are assholes and all bmw riders wear bellstaffs?whatever. OH crap should I cover up all my tattoos and earings when I ride my bmw. and shucks, I have a bmw patch on my coat when I ride my harley! I own both. go drive your cage into a tree. or are you a tree hugger activist also. I think you would save a tree before eating the beaver ....
I just made a couple of nice burms and ruts with my dual-sport ( thats an on off road bike mr zwe66) in the woods today. wish I had the video camera. I dont think I had the right gear on for that ride either. so tell me Mr. ZWE66.......... what do you ride. please tell me its a bmw..... with all the correct gear.....now that is a conforming, wanta be, self righteous, look at me up here POSER.......... god I need a beer..no.... wait.... a glass of wine
