Sold my 2009 R1200GS because I donĀ“t go camping any more. I want a road bike more than an off-road bike, but I have a lot of goaty mountain roads in my area to ride. So far the Hyper SP does not disappoint! I feel more secure in the curves and it stays planted on bumpy surfaces. I am wondering what the shock travel actually is. Do the shocks actually travel 6-7 inches (as far as they look like they should) it feels like they only have a couple inches of movement? I weigh in at 165 lbs.
