I own a 1300 Pan that has developed a few problems, and is getting expensive to keep on the road. So I called my local BMW for a test ride on the RT1250. Just like Sycamore, they couldn't have been more helpful, but I didn't get on with the RT. I actually took a sales bike out rather than the demo. They called me back after about a fortnight with a "so you know, we have the K16 new demo bike in, if you want to take that out?" So I did... I had the same reaction to the K16 as you did. So I now own a K1600 GTL E and rocked up more than 600 miles giggling my butt off within a fortnight of picking the thing up. BMW don't need to try to sell the K16, they just let people take it for a demo ride... I reckon most would buy one after 30 miles in the seat. Best sales tactic ever. And yes, it's the engine that completely sells the bike. On my test ride, I had to park up to verify that the motor was still on, and whatever you ask of it, it just goes "yes sir, certainly sir, would sir like some more speed with that?"
@SamVBikes
@SamVBikes Жыл бұрын
That sums it up perfectly! I had the RT in Yosemite and although it was a great bike and did everything I asked of it, I didn't really care about handing the keys back. I had the K16 for a few hours and I genuinely didn't want to hand the key back at the end. Absolutely corking bit of kit and really blew my expectations out of the water! Glad you're loving your GTL! Brilliant bike! The engine is something else!

I've got a 2018 and have loved every minute of it. I can lean back and ride it almost like a cruiser. I can lean forward and she handles just like a sport bike. The hum of the engine signals its elegant design..secure and confident in its readiness to sprint ahead in a whim. All the while with comfort and style to suit my increasing years. Your giggles said it all. Pure joy and excitement :)

I have a 2012 with 82k miles. It rides like the day it was built. Fantastic bike. Probably the best Ive ridden. I havent ridden a GW yet but thats because I dont want to drop 30k nor do I have room for a 5th bike. I have a GS1200 Adv which is the Jack of all trades and will never sell. Also had a few Harleys. Currently have a custom M8 Road Glide Stage 3 with all the farkles and love that, but its not in the same class as a K1600.

How does the acceleration / cornering ability feel compared to your KTM 1290 SAS?
@SamVBikes
@SamVBikes Жыл бұрын
KTM is obviously a lot more aggressive with its power delivery - Front wheel normally doesn't hit the ground until 4th gear etc. The K16 is way more planted so you can actually accelerate harder on it without it getting out of shape. It's not as exciting as the KTM but that's mainly because the KTM brings out your inner child. Cornering is very similar. The KTM feels more sports bike in it's cornering, very much hard on the front brake, over the front wheel, and power out. The K16 corners like something half it's weight, but is very smooth throughout. It definitely shouldn't be able to corner as hard as it does!

Massively depends on the rider and what they are doing with the bike. Weekend riders and track riders, sure, but crossing a continent on an M1000XR is going to be pretty painful after a while. Thin seat, barely any wind protection, higher fuel consumption, higher revving engine and more aggressive riding position. So they both have their places in the market

I somewhat agree. Test rode the XR yesterday and loved the bike. I agree that long distance riding will be a bit painful on her but the high position windscreen shielded me nicely at high speeds. Got her up to 110 in a flash and felt no buffeting at all. She was smooth as silk. The bike stock lacks the sporty character that I like though. There are ways to make her more comfortable for long distance though. Taller seat and an air pad will do the trick.

Welp, I did something I never thought I'd do, I traded my '19 KTM Superduke GT for this. And it's every bit as bonkers as you show here. This thing can do everything. BMW hit it out of the park with this ride.

That's a swap I didn't see coming but hopefully it's the right choice for you. It's an incredible bike which is way more capable that people think it is. A lot of fun! Congratulations

The faster you go the more the bike will send the wind to your back and push you forward 😂it’s a bit weird at high speeds but it’s ok 👍🏾
