It seems to me that every R-Bike I've ridden on a dirt, gravel, or sand road felt somewhat squirrely. My theory is that the torque of the engine is the cause for this issue. The latest I've tried it on was an R-1100 I had last year. I felt very uncomfortable at any speed over about 30 MPH on gravel. Suffice it to say I have simply avoided any road that is not paved with my present pair of R-bikes, an R1200C and an R1150RT. I have not needed to ride either of my K-bikes on poor roads, yet. I don't think they would have the same feel due to the layout of the engine, but I may be wrong.
I know the GS series are supposedly designed for "off road" gelande as well as strassen.
Does anyone (everyone) else feel this way about our beloved BMWs, or is my technique off kilter?
