Germans are not known for their spontaneity but they are known for excellent engineering. My BMW is an awesome piece of kit and came into its own riding through the winding mountains from Monaco to Cuneo in Italy. With 85kg on the back she handles like a dream, weather on the highway or in the corners.
How to describe riding the BM?? its all about the feel .... fun riding is to enter the corners with a smooth line, hit the sweet spot, apply a little pressure on the throttle and then drive her hard out of the corner. The thrill is how hard to push her ..... too much throttle or not hitting the sweet spot on entry, you will end up being high sided, daised and on your own! You need to know your bike - what she is capable of, how hard to push her and when to push her.... the excitement is finding those boundaries.
Its been hard pushing her while she has a big bag end of 85kg on her, the front is a light and therefore not much to hold you on, so I can't wait to find a day to take all the gear off and see what she is capable of!!
