“Heavy at a standstill but the effect disappears once on the move. Surprisingly agile for it's class, easy to point exactly where you want and quick direction changes easy with very little counter-steering needed, probably as a result of low c of g especially when fully fueled.
The telelever front-end vagueness reported by some I've not felt at all to be honest.
Supremely comfortable and better aerodynamics (allegedly) than the later R1200RT.
Fuel economy good (mid 50's mpg). Early fuel injection not perfect, surging or "hunting" around 3,000 rpm is annoying to some but I don't mind it - it's character, the "ancient" boxer twin.”
