“This complaint is about a Bmw k1200lts: it is top heavy and will get away from the operator and roll over (standing still or during a very slow maneuver): in short if it exceeds its virtical balance it will flop over slaming the operator onto the pavement. . I called normand brodeur, (manager driver education program, under state of maine, secretary of state, bureau of motor vehicles) and asked him if he knew about this motorcycle and he told me he'd operated one and that they are top-heavy . …”
