I've had the exact same problem with my 2009 GSA! Thank god I'm not the only one, I almost dropped the bike right in front of Chizz's house (HUBB member) and on a few other occasions. Two up, fully loaded, Metzeler Tourance Exp tyres and terrible handling at low speeds (walking pace). I have never experienced anything like that before, not even on an equally loaded (aka overloaded) Tenere with 20 year old springs and shock. I think "like on marbles" actually describes it best - it's terrible.
Do you have the ESA system? I've had mine set to two people soft, unfortunately BMW only allows you to select one person, one person + luggage and two people, then soft, normal, and hard. What tyres do you have on yours?
