So I know this is not a question specific to my Ninja but you guys are some of the only professionals I have access to so

I'll always hold on to my Ninja to ride around town and satisfy the "speed demon" in me but I have a chance to buy a 2006 BMW R1200GS for sports touring...panniers and all. It's a great price but the only thing is that it's a flat twin and one of the reasons I'm getting a sport touring bike, other than the ergonomics, is the smooth ride. Since it's a 2 cylinder, will it not have the vibration that most 2 cylinders have? Do I need to wait for an inline 4 to be able to ride long distances smooth and absent of vibration?
