One wierd thing was even in neutral if you'd rev the engine, the bike would tip to the right. Every time you take off, it leans and wants to go to the right. He bought it new and said it had always been that way.
Ummmmmm....well yeah! All BMW "R" bikes do that and always have(going all the way back to their first R32 opposed-twin in 1923) because of their "longitudinal" crankshaft layout and the torque-effect that that particular sort of engine arrangement inherently produces.
Even the present Triumph RocketIII makes this sort of motion to some degree when at rest and the throttle is "blipped".
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
