Fnokket mense, maar die 1190 is swaar!
As most "bikers", I also have this itch from time to time to "upgrade" my bike .
So, when the opportunity came around to test a 1190R, I obviously made use of it.
It is a really nice bike, revs like a super bike and is really fast.
However, I will not be able to take this bike into the "woods" where I use to enjoy my older 1200GS and now HP2. I nearly dropped it while getting on it at the start when the weight surprised me..
It feels much heavier than the older 1200GS'e - must be with the weight sitting so high up (V-twin vs vertical boxer)
Starting the new year, I am wondering - am I getting weaker or the bikes heavier?
