I find the bike a bit hesitating (and me too) on wet conditions, and in dry condition at tight turns I am leaning with less confidence than my old R1200GS. I first thought because the GS has an extra suspension right behind the fork, which makes the bike more stable in cornering. Then I remember (and re-read) some of you mentioning about the stock tires (Metzler Tourance) are not fantastic on wet conditions. May be a bit of both. I need to change my tires in another couple thousand km anyway, and I am likely going to change to Mitas E07 as I use the bike more road than off-roads. I am going to see how the tires contribute to the cornering stability. Then I will check out the WP suspension which should come out in May or summer 2009, as I was told by a rep at the Cologne show. I know Ohlins already has a set and Wilbers too, but I like to see what WP comes up with too. Any observations, tips on the tire/suspension relationship with wet conditions?
