I agree with Allen's comments. I had a similar one (84 GL1200). They do carry their weight very low (gas tank under the seat) which makes it easier to handle. They are low, but pretty wide, and is true, your legs end up trapped between the engine sticking out and the foot pegs. It took me a while to get used to that.
