What I see when I watch American riders reviewing European made bikes is that you all have a big heritage experience from HD background experience and that’s your reference. But it isn’t a “good influence” in terms of judging a different machine, with a very different approach. I usually ride this K1600 to fifth gear and I do everything till that, I only make use of the sixth gear when I activate the cruise control on longer rides. This is not a big engine in V shape of two massive cilindres. This is a Six in line cilindres. It’s a very different machine. Another aspect is the worry about the wind pressure and the wind effects. I don’t understand it. Because on two wheels, there Will be always the wind presence…The wind and the natural elements for me they make part of the pleasure and challenge of riding a bike.

Had. 2022 Grand America and traded it within 8 months for a GTL as the bike was terribly unstable at high speeds on the interstate and wobble’s terribly. My dealer won’t sell them because of the thousands of complaints about this bike. If your on back roads and stay out of the wind or off interstate you will be OK but Do Not buy this bike for interstate travel you will hate it. Spent thousands trying to get rid of the instability. Read on line in the forums about the instability on the interstate. Very well known complaint. This is an airflow aerodynamic problem that BMW knows about. The GTL K 1600 is a much better more stable touring bike and I love mine to tour on. I have a new Gold Wing and it is a much better touring bike than this. PLEASE ride this thing out on the interstate and in a crosswind you will not like it. If you are only riding in the mountains or backroads it is very smooth. Make sure you do your research on this bike!!. The wind wraps around the bike and tour-pack and will make the bike very unnerving on the interstate at 70mph or 80 mph. I’ve already made the mistake that cost me thousands!! If you want a touring BMW get the GTL or R1250 RT!! Make sure you ride the other bike before you buy this flawed bike.

How does this rate against the 2018 Yamaha Star venture with the TC package. I saw a good one in my area the other day but the asking price for that one is almost the price of a new leftover Voyager from 2023. I understand it does not have all the bells and whistles of the Star venture but from a ride quality or storage how does this compare?

I have to say, I was very tempted. Its a lot of bike for the dollar. Its a big bike. Top heavy, no reverse mode, simple electronics, due for a major updates by now, comfortable to ride. I took one for a test and this bike was too top heavy even for a 6'4" rider. Also, mid Summer ride and you really feel the heat cooking you. Stop and go traffic will not be that fun. However, if you are on a budget, this is the one to get.

Last weekend a friend of mine was riding two up on a new blue 2924 Road Glide. He added the king tour pack to the bike but did not add rear bag guards. He was coming to a stop and dripped his bike. Scratched his left saddle bag, tour pack and slip on exhaust. Slight messed up his clutch lever and highway peg. He is now getting saddle bag guards.
