top heavy R80gspd?

[ultracyclist]

I was reading somewhere that the fuel capacity on the R80gspd is 35 liters.

For those of you who ride that model, have you noticed "top heavy" handling characteristics?

8+ gallons of gas at about 7 pounds per gal is about 56+ pounds. That is almost twice the weight of full load of fuel on my R1150R.

I don't have the R80GSPD, but my R100GSPD has the "large" tank on it. It's not as bad as I expected it to be. Actually, aside from a little more work getting it onto the centerstand (and it wanting to roll away more taking it off the stand) I don't notice a huge difference. I think I've just adjusted it to. Either way, it never felt like I had weights on top of the tank or anything. :)

While riding...no.
