I just went downstairs and sat on my bike and then the man's bike and screwed around with the steering. His is waaaaaaaaaay lighter on the front end. I'm riding it tomorrow.

Mine is a biatch to steer. His is much lighter on the front end so it seems, but a 1200 vs. my 650. There is so much crap on the front of mine. I was turning the front end of both of them and his is easy-peasy. I ride the heavy betty girl. He gets a :buttkick: tomorrow.

Lighter in the front???

Nevah evah tell a guy he is lighter in the front.... :doh:

Might be the bearings in the front. Tapered roller bearings are the bearings of choice in some of the heavier bikes vs the ball bearings still found in some of the lighter bikes. Rake and trail, tire profile and the fact you want to ride the 1200 all may have an impact on your perception :thewave:

Whatever you ride tomorrow, enjoy! It is 18 degrees and icy here in the pacific northwet!

My bike has a bunch of stuff on the front of it that makes it heavier than his. I just never compared the two. Never sat on his bike and moved the front end around and then compared it to mine. Big difference. Never figured a 1200 would be lighter in the front end than the 650.

Bummer, still in the 50's here, and just had a week-end in the 70's..

Coming back out your way on the 28th.. or 29th.. probably be the last Oregon visit. Will be going to Tinker AFB OK after that (March) and probably again in July, then it will probably be on to another program (google G/ATOR).
