Hi from Tucson, AZ. Tomorrow morning (04/10/2021) I pick up my first liquid-cooled boxer. I've owned dozens of airhead and oilheads, but this is my first boxer ('20 R1250RS) with plumbing other than for oil. Admittedly, I am very excited. I hope it blows my mind.

Coming from Oilheads, throttle by wire and, perhaps, missing the inherent anti-dive character of your oilheads will be the initial (possible) disappointments. Eventually, you'll adjust to throttle by wire and the small amount of front-end dive will be ignored.
