" how well a bike handles when you get off pavement "
Over here, only toddlers get to ride on pavement, and they ain't riding
BMWs. Usually.
Pavement = sidewalk!

Obviously, I'm going to be partial to a Norton. Harley-Davidson is
"religion" around here. But the BMW bikes just have a near perfect
balance in about every aspect.
One thing that I value is how well a bike handles when you get off
pavement. The BMW R1200GS is on my short list of two-wheeled suicide
machines.
My wife would rather I get BMW convertible.
