My brother in Tucson has the K1200 LT, When I was there
we rode up old hwy 666, It has unbelievable hairpin turns & twists. I couldn't keep up with him through the sharp turns, but on the more gradual twisties had no problem, and obviously could always chase him down :-D I must say that
K1200LT handles the twisties awfully well for a big bike.
My question for you would be, do you ride mostly solo or 2up? My brother rides with his wife all the time, so although he loves my bike wouldn't trade his. I ride solo all the time,
so even though I think the BMW is a great bike, I think the
Rocket is much more fun. Pretty much apples and oranges
when you compare the 2 bikes. Both are great bikes, both do different things better than the other one. Figure out what kind of riding you like to do best and than pick the bike
that suits you the best. Best of luck
