Oh come on now Andy this is a Man's Moto, please just stick to your Schwinn! I do fully agree with Don Carver and Herr Petey, in not understanding how both Yamaha and Triumph could not have controlled the immense weight on their new big trailies.Me likey...
The price to pay for having liquid cooled engines. Or they could just stick the heads out in the air at funny angles.It is no mystery to anyone Triumph and Yamaha had their sights set on the BMW R1200GS as the machine to beat for sales. So if they were starting with a clean sheet of engineering design, why did they build dual sports 60-70 lbs. heavier than the GS?

I saw that on Page 38 Ray of the January 2012 issue, but that has to be a typographic error; it looks to me like they just copied it mistakenly (how can it be exactly the same!), also they tested the 2011 R1200GS Adventure with the 8.7 gallon tank.I think the Rider test had them at the same weight.
