Author Message   Dueller Posted on Monday, May 10, 2004 - 07:36 pm:        Over the past few years, I've ridden nothing but My S1W or my M2 "beater" save for an occasional jaunt on an old Softtail. These are the only two Buells I've ever ridden as they're rare as hens teeth in my parts. This past weekend, a friend lent me his BMW 1100R sport tourer and now I'm in a quandry. The Bimmer just felt so much more "planted" in turns than either of my Buells. Waaaay down on torque, but really stable in sweepers. Obviously the BMW has a longer wheelbase and there was the tire difference (running Dunlops on my bikes...his had some Metzlers) but it was disconcerting moving back to the S1W, which felt nose heavy and skittish. I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't begin to play with the suspension settings to see if it can be improved. Any thoughts beyond I'm clueless about how my bikes "should" feel?   Dueller Posted on Monday, May 10, 2004 - 08:16 pm:        Sorry guys...moved my query to the KV
