Hard to beat those light years ahead of the rest front & rear BMW suspensions...



Well, yeah Bucky, the front on this R1200C with the BMW "Telelever" suspension might be considered "light years ahead" in design, but this particular model here was never fitted with their "Paralever" rear suspension which all other newer Beemer R-models have had since 1994 and which keeps the shift-drive "jacking-effect" at bay.

And so, seeing as how I've never taken this particular Beemer model for a ride(I have been on few older and newer R-bikes though), I wonder if the R1200C jacks up its rear end when you grab some throttle at speed like older Beemers do and like my old shaft-driven Yamaha XS1100 did???

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)
