What a bike she is!!! I truly enjoyed this R1200R. Like mentioned in the video I didn't really expect to ride this one... But Boooyyyy am I glad I did get the chance. Even though I'm not the biggest fan of riding literbikes on public roads I have to admit that the R1200R makes quite a lot of sense out there. I really dig those boxer engines. I love how this bike has massive amounts of power but still I never felt overwhelmed by it. I'd describe both its power output as well as the overall rideability as 'very manageable'. This machine offers quite the attractive compromise between long distance comfort and sportiness. You can ride this thing for the whole day and thanks to the rather relaxed seating position your body won't mind. And as soon as you feel like putting the hammer down the semi-active suspension, quickshifter PRO, and powerful brakes will easily let you do so. I can't say anything about it's actual ground clearance though. Like mentioned I stopped leaning further down as soon as the hero blobs scraped the tarmac. The day before I got into trouble for scraping the Multistrada's pegs and panniers and since I didn't want to risk more penalty payments I contained myself lean angle wise on the R1200 R. Up to the leans and speeds you see in the video the bike behaves very well mannered though. No nasty surprises. I'm fairly confident to say that it could take quite a bit more even without losing its shape too heavily.
Definitely try this one should you ever get the chance! And no, as you can see I was not smart enough to switch off the ABS. Is it possible to switch it off anyway?

DISCLAIMER: I totally manipulated the bike's ECU so the speedometer's pointer would show completely random values instead of my actual velocity. In reality I never exceeded 89 kph.
