BMW 1200RT Today I did it!

[R Doug]

I'm not sure how to put it exactly. It's not *as* quick at turn-in nor does it give you quite the feedback as the Super Duke but it's a ton better than the K1200S, which did feel vague to me.  

I find the handling to be perfect on road.  I have more than enough feedback, it's very compliant and doesn't waddle, it's easy to hold a line, and it's uber comfortable.

You should know the drill by now: pics or it didn't happen.

To be fair I shouldn't say I didn't like it it since I hardly rode it, but it didn't feel like I'd be able to load the front tire, like you'd always be riding the rear. Do you ever feel like that?   That didn't come out right

Gorgeous bike!

Thanks, I think they look a little bloated to me.  But, I have a history of buying function over looks.  Thank goodness they ride a lot smaller than they look.

Nobody realizes just how nimble they are until they ride one.  It looks like it should weigh about 200# more than it does.

It may not be a flying pig, but it's a nimble little pig.

So true. If you look at the numbers, it's not all that heavy compared to the rest of the class. IIRC, it weighs about 20 lbs less than my Sprint with a full tank of gas. The Boxer carries the weight so low that it feels even lighter once you're under way.
