I've had this 2003 R1200CL for more than a year now and noticed at highway speeds if you let go of the handlebars it wants to go to the right. It's not severe but takes constant pressure to keep it going straight. If I lean to the left it will go straight with hands off the bars. My mechanic says this is normal for a boxer engine but I think it is a bit much. I've owned a lot of different motorcycles and never had this issue. I put a new tire on it a month after I purchased it and now a year later its wore out from cupping and down to the wear bars but only on the left side of the tire. Is this normal for a boxer engine BMW?
