Comparison between the Tracer 900GT and BMW's R1200-1250RS?

Due to my sport bikes I've always like "hugging the tank" when going quickly.  Found myself doing it even on the Tracer.  I'd lean forward and down to get closer and tighter to the bike.  Never felt like my Tracer was unstable at higher speeds although it wasn't as planted in higher speed turns as `i would have liked.  I did drop the forks 7mm which IMO made a difference.  Always liked the way the Tracer can make the quick turn in and transitions that were somewhat close to what my 600cc sport bikes did.  One of my favorite things on my CBR600RR was how it would make the left to right or right to left transitions so quickly.  

@NormR give the hip time and it will get back to normal.  Took a while to get my knee back but it got there, can tell it is different but not in a hindering way except for kneeling - that is still difficult to to the scar tissue.  Range of motion and strength are both the same as before.
