Which Bike Steers Better

Not only a wheelbase difference, but more importantly I think a steering lock difference. My S1000R has much less of a steering lock than the RS and as a result it has a wider turning circle I am sure, even though the wheelbase is probably a little bit smaller. It is also much lighter bike. However, how this translates during riding into turning feel does not equate to the actual turning circle of the bike. The S1000R is more “flickable” than the RS but in a parking lot the RS would win.
