LOOKING AT THE SAME BIKE MY SELF VERY NICE

@@rutkowsky1000 DID YOU BUY IT THOUGH?!

@@Focacts no like to copair it to a gold wing not a new wing

I’ll go from a Harley Street Bob to one of these. Like going from an old American muscle car to a modern luxury sports car.

so it cheaper then a harley oil change.😆😆

And by 2022 its been toast I bet. Baught my 18 DCT Wing with 45,000km on it. 90% of K16s have gone down with catastrophic failure by then. I'll be riding my wing probably upto 200,00km by time I get a new one. At 45,000km mine isnt broken in yet. K bikes are just plain broken by then. I know. I'm on all the forums. Not an accident I ended up in a wing. 👍😉🇦🇺

I bought a 2018 BMW K1600 GTL, brand new with all options. Planet blue metallic with brown leather seats. I couldn’t be more satisfied!! Just the way to go.

Me too bruh. I have a 2012 Harley touring but i want a more smoother tourer like this one.

@@terencebigt3825 that GTL1600 IN THE VIDEO IS A GREAT BIKE 160 HORSEPOWER

@@rutkowsky1000 yes..,that’s a lot of power! Definitely more than my Harley!

@@terencebigt3825 great bike

Yeah and I don’t.....scripture is bullshit from whichever stupid religion it comes!

Why because it’s good

Try GW

K1200GT / K1300GT aren't as smooth as the K1600 - but they're a touch quicker! The 1600 is awesome but you feel the extra size/weight working against it a little. Having said that, the 6 is special, it sings to you all the while you ride it and I'd take it over the 4 most times. In fact I may be buying a K1600GT within the next few weeks.

My old 02 k1200RS has 96,000 miles and runs like an animal. I love it regardless of the weight.

I had a 2003 K... inline 4... now have a 2018 K... inline 6. This 6 is better. OMG. REV IT!! The sound is INTOXICATING.

I have a 2007 1200 GT model and man I love it.....

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f I just got a dealer hold over 2018 GTL.. and DAMN!!! does that engine sound incredible when accelerating hard!

It's only better than a Goldwing if you're selling it. Everyone knows that.

@@flevy1 thats pure nonsense.. there are many things the bmw k1600 can do that the Goldwing simply cant... like handle the curves way better and more power .. that and the goldwing although a great bike is just plain ugly

@@bobbymanning5808 that's cool, that's your opinion no problem with that. As far as my statement and you think the goldwing is ugly I looked them over both I checked both of them out thoroughly I don't want to be on the pipe on the k1600 and have to do 4500 RPM all the time. Sure it can out corner the wing and it's faster than the wing but hey the wings so much better engineered bike so less in maintenance cost so much easier on the body to drive in it's everything I wanted and I came off a Ducati diavel

@@flevy1 no doubt in terms of how long it will last Im sure the Goldwing will easily be the long endurance champion... maybe im just looking for the absolute fastest and best handling bike with long haul comfort.. I have an Fjr1300 now and its absolutely amazing .... honestly the Japanese bikes will always be the reliability champs but the cutting edge technology and engineering goes to the BMW.Im sure there will be a high repair bill in my future on that thing lol

The Grand America is built on the K1600 Bagger platform. It is lower and I don't believe the side bags are removable like they are on the GTL. Biggest difference in performance is the whole Bagger series is limited to 101 MPH. GTL is limited to 130. GT's aren't limited at all and will do 150+ in utter comfort. We maintain and modify our 2012 K1600GT, as well as multiple other cars and motorcycles. Join us for all the fun! - jaysbigadventure

@@JayBearjaysbigadventure 141 on the GTL, at least my 2018 is.

Exhaust lower too, handle bar bit more backwards and foot plates instead of pegs

RJ just rode one across Oman, his "average" speed, including fuel stops was 147 km/h haha. 2 up the whole way with luggage, he was probably doing a LOT of 200+ km/h stretches on those dead straight desert roads. Basically did 1000km in 8 hours.

Please don't compare it to the aids known as the 7 series haha

@TheMaloney If you don't like it, then don't watch it. Better yet keep your opinionated comment to yourself. It's his video/channel so as far as I am aware he can say anything he wants.

I enjoy the scriptures too

Hi! I just bought a k1600gt and i also felt a little wobble over 150-160 km/h speeds is it like normal on these bikes?

Has your K1600 ever broke down? Didn't think so ;-) Going on 11,000 trouble free miles on mine. Road a Goldwing F6B for 45,000 miles... blew the transmission twice. Seriously.

John Such GOD COMES FIRST ! PRAISE GOD ❤️ Despite what the heathen say ! Psalm 14:1 The Fool in his heart said there is no God ! ( if you want Proof there is a GOD . You AIN’T Gonna get it !!!! Bible sez .... you MUST come by faith ! Essentially , with your eyes closed .... but with you’re heart open ! )

I'm going from a R Nine T to this bike except a 2012 model. It looks big but once you get on it and start riding it's very easy to handle and the power of the engine is there if you need it but not scary.

Bartholomew Smutz It’s a great one for sure,I’m partial to the weight savings of the RT though, particularly after coming off of a Harley touring bike.

I am armored

Same here

Not really. Especially when most videos show bikers at fault. Dont ride like a moron and you’ll most likely be ok. But armour up if you want in case a car pulls out on you cause that shit does happen and it suuuuucks.

John Keller I'm sure the F6B may beat the K16 on some things, apart from acceleration, top speed, braking, cornering clearance and fuel tank range. The K16 also has some niceties like traction control and the electrically adjustable screen whilst some of the F6Bs don't even have ABS. Plus, being much lighter you can get decent tyres for the K16.

F6B is great; put 45,000 miles on mine. LOVED IT... until I blew the transmission... twice. Even at that, thinking about getting another one, for long rides; nothing beats the comfort. I'm on a K1600 GTL now; 11,000 miles... and idk man... the performance and sportyness are LEAGUES better than the F6B. More lean, less rake, lighter; I can do power wheelies for christs sake!

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f wow I just read this comment, since I'm exploring a 2012 GT again, the reason being, wait on it, yep my transmission is starting to ghost shift! When I downshift from any gear to Second, it kind of slipped bangs! I guess it just continues to get worse! Did you repair your transmission on your Goldwing F6B? How much was it? This really pisses me off as these Honda Goldwings I thought we're Bulletproof, I've been told for to $6,000 to repair a flaw in the manufacturing basically, I only have 30 thousand miles on it

@@johnk12345100 Oh boy; sorry to hear that! I got my bike repaired both times, luckily under warranty. 1st time at 14,000 miles. 2nd time at 32,000. There's a guy who goes by "Goldwing Greg" who's familiar with the issue and has done many repairs. He actually upgrades the tranny with beveled gears to help keep it from happening again. His shop is called "JustWings" in Zephyrhills, FL. Give him a shout, he might have a better quote.

@@user-cx2bk6pm2f yeah I actually talked to Goldwing Greg, he said he quotes over the phone 6500! I just put out another video, discussing the whole situation, check it out

Dennis Morris I’ll be approaching in the near future on 30K service Dealer told me that service is a thousand for my Road Glide. I’m with you love both. Considering BMW next to compare, if it isn’t what I thought I’ll go back to my Harley-Davidson.

Words are cheap. REAL cheap. The true measure of a person is what you DO (when noones looking).

I do my own service. Easy.

I thought my K1200LTC was fast...then i bought a 2013 K1600 GTL. This bike is faster, smoother, more fun,etc. My daughter rode with me on both bikes. When I would ask her which one to take, she would say, "The K12 is a bit more comfortable for the pillian, but the K16 is so much more fun."

A bit more... The K12 would get rough at about 4k rpm until about 4300 rpm (about 90-95 mph), then it would smooth out and hum. Never took it over 100...at 80 mph it just got so quiet you could hardly hear it at all. The K16 is smooth from 0 to over 130...I didn't quite reach the top advertised speed (139). Some complained about how heavy the front end felt in slow speeds (ie. parking lots). I love it. It feels stable and comfortable. I bought it with 27k miles. I have put another 70k smiling-ear-to-ear miles on it. My only complaint has been that it wants to overheat if the ambient temperature approaches 80 or above, if I am stuck in traffic, or construction. If I can keep moving at 25/30 or above, it doesn't have any problem. I have had the radiator/cooling system worked on four times...each time they thought the problem was solved...no joy. Still, I am keeping my K1600GTL. It is the favorite bike of my life.

He meant, obviously, the BMW's contemporary Gold Wing

Bummer. I've had two K1600 GTL's and both rode perfectly.

I had the same problem with my 2013 K1600 GTL. I personally felt it was dangerous and got out of it a couple years later.

@@comedicsketches - you drank the BMW kool-aide on that one. There should be absolutely no pull in either direction. That 13' GTL is the only BMW that ever pulled. My 19' R1250 GSA runs as straight as an arrow just like my prior BMWs and every other bike I have ever owned.

Happy Trails, Only a problem with full face helmets.

Unless he had a chew in when he sneezed lol

Wait until you see the 72K service..... ha ha

@@MannyScoot Just pointing out the facts. Salespeople often play with the truth to get sales. BMW is a great machine but to state they are not expensive to maintain compared to other brands is just a flat out lie.

I have a 2012 K1600GT with 58kmi and the valves have not needed adjusting. The original plugs went 50kmiles. Like all dealerships, they want you in every few thousand miles for rape-and-pillage. You can easily do most of it yourself, and there are excellent independent shops as well. Try putting 60000 HARD miles on a big HD and see what the costs are! At least you're not eating cam chain followers, etc every 36k. Follow my channel to see how to maintain your BMW for very little money. - jaysbigadventure

@@Skierxman I put 70k miles on mine in 4 years...no complaint about the maintenance costs

Especially when at least new, you can almost buy 2 connies for the prices of a K1600.

The Connie doesn't even come with cruise control.

Dan Hammack yeah that why the FJR is better then the Kawi.

All ways liked them. But come on no freaking cruise control. I will give them one more year. Otherwise its a k1600 b for me.

The issue I have with Japanese bikes is they'll come out with a new model, and then sit on that model with few changes for another decade or so.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA (note to self, don't buy premium)

Are you saying that you want more?

@@Srkcycles no, just keep it to yourself.

He can do what he wants his video man.

@@jamesfrysinger6245 you're in the minority. There are many more comments from people who enjoy it, than those who don't. Which alone tells me you probably think more about yourself than others. Which would also make sense that you're not a believer.. It all checks out

@@jamesfrysinger6245 U got nerve.

Are you kidding? The BMW front fairing looks like an insect why the Goldwing has LED lighting reminding me of an Audi.

Dan Hammack It would be a boring world if we all liked the same bike.

Doesn't mean I would choose a Goldwing. I would probably choose the BMW because I consider the new Goldwing's luggage capacity ridiculous, but I do think the Goldwing is a better looking bike.

Dan Hammack UH, Im the opposite. Ive always been a lover of goldwings. Started on a gl1100 standard and been riding them ever since. The 2018 is the first Goldwing I dont like. Im sure the engine and drivetrain is great, its a Honda. Im not sure about the front suspension, Im not gonna judge it until its been out a couple years. But, I absolutely hate the new look and appearence of a smaller bike. The tech looks great too but I cant believe they gave up luggage capacity. I feel like Honda is trying to appeal to an aging sport bike rider while leving longtime wing lovers sitting on the bench. Like Grandpa used to say " Dance with the one who brought you to the ball" Im now looking around for my next bike. Considered the transcontinental from Yamaha but Im not a VTwin fan. Im gonna look at that new BMW K1600B bagger, maybe I'll like it.

How about just helping out the stupid people out there who don’t wear basic gear to save there life?

"Ya can't fix stupid". They know what they're doing. It's the choice they make. I'm called the Safety Nerd because I wear my yellow/black Tourmaster jacket and gloves. Always. Got a bad road rash a few decades ago and the scars aren't all on the outside. My buds ride T shirts. I don't call them squids. I don't care what they call me. We're all adults. We all make our own choices. Simple as that.

I would bet that most riders killed are wearing full face helmets and most, if not all the gear. Why do I say this? Because I'm betting sportbike riders are killed more than any other riders. Gear can't compensate for stupidity.

How about your poor family who'll have to spoon complan into your mouth and change your diapers for the rest of your life when you have an accident?

No. I don't think you get it. AT ALL.

The k1600 has good reliability. Not sure where your comment came. I like the Goldwing too, but most big touring bikes are great. The k1600 is fast and maneuverable. Much more than the Kawi or GL 1800. If you’re a HD guy, then nothing will make you happy other than another HD.

I completely disagree. Ive found BMW motorcycles to be very reliable. They should warn you when you buy one though. If maintenance is needed, it will cost you your first born child. Parts are ridiculous.

Their services are high af!

Another K1600 rider here. Very reliable; you couldn't break it if you tried. Seriously. Try it for yourself. My Goldwing F6B? Blew the transmission at 14,000 miles... and then again at 31,000 miles. I love that bike but that's the one made for gentlemen riders. BMW on the other hand makes bikes for people who THRASH 'em and ride HARD. They just don't break.

just bought a used 2012 with 27K miles. The brake pads crapped out on me when I inappropriately got on them to hard, but replacement with OEM parts was cheap and it took 20 minutes to take the rear fender and rear wheel off. Replaced the pads in 2-3 minutes and replaced the fender and wheel in 10 minutes. Looking forward to oil changes...ridiculously simple.

Personal consumption? WRONG! Corperate worship (liturgy/Mass).

Mark 16:15 And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
