A pity the GTR and BMW1200RT were not included.

I never go much on these types of comparisons Saaz.  They always seem too subjective rather than objective IMHO.

Saying that, I'm surprised they mentioned the ST & FJR as they seem to have fallen off many motorcycle journo's review radar these days.

Yeah shame the RT wasn't included.  They are really nice to ride, and easy to ride quickly too.  Personally I'm not convinced by the build quality of the later BMW's - the 1200 Boxers or 12/1300 K series.  Too may reported problems, and I know a few people that have had problems first-hand.
