Have been lusting after the R1200RS since its introduction, so started today looking at a selection in my local dealer.
I homed in on a 2016 example with all the bells and whistles, and ESA.
What surprised me was that sitting astride the bike I couldn't compress the front forks, and felt that the rear was just the same. The bike wasn't running.
My question is, do other owners find the suspension hard when riding? I'm just over 10stone, and an important thing for me riding bikes is that the suspension should at least work.
Or are BMW factory testers 20 stone? I've had a lot of trouble in the past with harsh suspension, and end up having to sell them.
Any views would be appreciated. Thanks.
