Funny how I moved from a harley cvo Road glide (430kg) and this bike feels quite light! Love the engine in this. Its like nothing else in the bike world.
@@RevZolutionThe good thing is that you only need to justify the price to yourself. Who cares what they think? Unless you,re not free to decide where your money goes to. That’s a different situation…
Hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. I thoroughly enjoyed your review of the K. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Could you please provide some insight into the changes made between this model and the previous one that resulted in significantly improved wind buffering? I encountered wind buffering issues with my 2020 model and am delighted to hear that this problem has been addressed. Wishing you safe and enjoyable rides.
Thank you for watching. Its great to hear from different countries. The changes made are not something I'm fully aware of however, this bike was unbelievable to ride. And I still want one🤣
I live in North Yorkshire and ride a GS. I’d be tempted by this but the number of times I come upon a steep almost u turns on some roads probably rules it out. 80% of the time I’m carrying a pillion so I think the sheer weight of this beast would be such a challenge. The GS is heavy but low centre of gravity disguises it.
This definitely has a low centre of gravity and the reverse gear helps move it about effortlessly. Doing U Turns on it is easy, if you mess up pop it in R and let the bike pull you back. Take it for a spin, you'll be surprised. It's an amazing machine
Cancel it, trust me. I had one new in 18. Horrible in high speed. wobbles too much in dirty air. That is why its speed limited to 101 MPH. Also, if you are a tall rider, very uncomfortable for longer rides even with HWY pegs. Also, the handle bar steer slightly to the left. Was told its because of the final drive and not off setting the steering. SOLD...SOLD and thank God I did. The bike is beast and very powerful and the shift assist is like no other. But, too much negative on it and that's it.
@@johnmatero234 I can’t tell you. The new GT looks really good. I just refuse to go back to one. I, simply had way too many issue as a new bike. I was tired running to the dealer every few months. Made me sour. Before you order one, read reviews, watch UA-cam videos. Go on the K1600 forum to learn more, before your spend 28k. I moved to a new Goldwing and I swear, the best machine I have owned. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the K1600. but, not with all of the crap that came with it. Make sure you have full warranty and extended, if you keep the bike.
I can't see it being comfortable at all for tall riders. A few people I've spoken to who've ridden that are 6ft plus say its too cramped for a big bike...they prefer adventure bikes as they give more space compared to the K1600GT for taller riders 🤷
Dynamic mode sharpens the throttle response and also the suspension, so thats why you felt the bumps in the road more😊
Great review ... extensive and diverse ... Good use of different roads to show the bike at it's full potential. Love the sound of the K1600 too !!
Thank you 😁
just bought one cant wait to get it!
I'm very jealous. Its an amazing bike.

The engine on this bike is unreal! The smooth yet savage power delivery is just crazy
I like anything BMW. But I cannot afford to walk past the BMWDealers here in Canada. Is a nice machine, great review.
I want a BMW but I can't justify the price of the ones I want.

Très belle machine ❤❤

Great review, I have the 2023 version on this exact bikeand love it!!
strange you use miles per hour but other measurements are metric?
@@Earthmover511 that's the UK for you. We're all over the place. And thank you for watching. Glad you liked it 😊

@@RevZolution thanks , that’s interesting to know. I’ll have to get a test ride.
At present I have the GT and have ordered the new Grand America
That will be a fantastic motorcycle. I honestly loved every second riding this one. If I had the money I would definitely purchase one

@@alp3781 Wouldn’t the GT have the same issues?

@@johnmatero234 it does not have the same issues as the other k1600s
2 mins down the road. Roadworks
The joys of the UK
Did you say this bike is not suitable for tall people over 6'2 ?
I can't see it being comfortable at all for tall riders. A few people I've spoken to who've ridden that are 6ft plus say its too cramped for a big bike...they prefer adventure bikes as they give more space compared to the K1600GT for taller riders 🤷
That VRF is sexy too...
New FJR is a best !
Just seen a picture of this. I'd love to get my hands on that for a test ride
Why does such a big bike have little leg room
I have wondered this as well. If you're a very tall rider you'd be better suited to an adventure bike
Or get the high seat / high position
