Wallowy BMW K1200S

I followed a link from Mike Werner's Motorbiker.org to a web site set up solely for the BMW K1200S and K1200R models.

There's a section devoted to "Action Video Clips" that includes a link to a streaming media file showing a K1200S doing the Nurburgring in under 8 minutes which is an impressive feat. Now normally, I'd really enjoy any track footage but I had to stop watching this after a minute or so as it was making me feel sick: the bike appears to be wallowing almost from the start - I'm not sure how the camera was mounted - so quite what it must have been like to ride is beyond me.

I have to say that having watched some of the footage, it's put me off the bike completely (not that I had any plans to buy one).

That's not wallowing, thats going for it - big style. Great footage, amazing that such a big bike can be pushed so hard.
