I am a Harley guy but i have to admit that is a awesome bike. 20k cheaper then a new CVO 160hp stock, better suspension, lighting electronics ect.... When you compare what you get from BMW vs a Harley it's actually pretty embarrassing what Harley charges for their bikes.
Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on the new bike but I still have my Harley. I just love this BMW didn’t think I would when I first rode one. But as soon as I got on it, it changed my mind. All I could say is go out and try some other motorcycles. There’s some very good stuff out there check it out! Also, thanks to John for putting this day on video for me and my family to enjoy for years to come! The biker community is an outstanding community you guys all rock! Thanks for watching John makes incredible videos!👍💯🇺🇸😎♥️
Glen whet phone do you have ? heard iphone pro max doesn't fit ? true? wireless charging or USB only ? how's the bmw navigation app? any connection issues ?
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA The connectivity is not great. Work in two years they will be caught up, so yes, there is some spots where you lose it for a second or two as for the phone charging I have an 11 or 12 I don’t know which one but it fits without the case! But the bike makes up for it in every other way, and it is better than the other one. You can use your phone with Bluetooth and still get your music. Thanks brother.👍💯🇺🇸😎
Congratulations to Glen on that beautiful K16B. 160hp. It’s an absolute beast. I had the chance to test ride the BMW Grand America. Sweeeet. Thanks for sharing brother.
Happy belated NEW BIKE DAY!!!! Glenn, its an AWESOME bike man!!! I saw the title and was like, no way he is letting that bike go....but now it makes sense!! :D. awesome new machine!! THANKS SO MUCH for sharing it with us all!!!
I just traded the 23 busa in on a 23 bmw Gs adventure rallye. It’s been a dream bike for me for a while. Wife didn’t like me having the busa after she found out how fast I was going🤣 I almost bought the 1250rt it’s a really nice bike too.
I sold my Challenger and got a brand new 2022 1600b 3 1/2 months ago. I now have 9,400 miles on it! The bike is like riding a Lazyboy with a bad ass throttle! It’s no Bussa but it is the baddest stock bagger on the road!
Nice looking machine... the technology on that bike leaves HD in the dust. Not a fan of the new TV screens. But times are changing. I am old and stuck in my ways :-)
It is really nice that BMW dealers put the Monroni label on their machines so that you can see if they are wanting to Flop on the ADM. It would be refreshing to see Harley do the same thing.
absolutely tremendous machine!!!!! looking at this and the GT version big congratulations to you Glen! So many good bikes out there and i love how you try them! 🎉
Congratulations Glenn! Enjoy that beautiful motorcycle my man and keep the rubber down. Stay safe out there. PS - watch out for that HolyShift character 😉😂
Beautiful bike, I own a 21 K1600B. I love mine. My other bike happens to be a Victory cruiser that's all hot rodded with cams, pipes etc. These bmws are just so smoothe and powerful. They cover ground effortlessly.
Harley camper be open minded Harley Davidson is not the only motorcycle on this earth. Try other ones you will enjoy yourself.!! Thanks for watching!!👍💯🇺🇸😎
Now that's a proper tourer. HD has a long way to go to match the features of this baby, including with the dinosaur tech of the 2023 CVOs (yeah man, the latest expensive CVOs still have manual suspension, but hey, at least HD has a better paint job).
lol, reminds me of a story where a guy who was raving about getting a new car. He went from 6 year old Toyota Corolla, to a new Toyota Corolla. same trim and same color. Sometimes, when you find what you like, you stick to it.
Do they still have the instability problems at high speed? I had thought about one, then was reading BMW put a speed limiter on them, I assume due to the instability. Maybe BMW fixed whatever the design issues were??
Yes, the wheels didn’t interest me too much. That’s why I didn’t go for them on the new bike. They faded on the old bike, so I just went with the stock black.. thanks for watching 👍🇺🇸😎
The maintenance is easy far as I’m concerned way easier than a Harley I do oil changes myself. The only major is the valve adjustment at 18,000 miles I believe it’s $1800 but in my view it’s well worth it for the smiles you get.!!! thanks for watching👍💯🇺🇸😎
I’m beginning to believe this bike is far superior to Harley Davidson. Performance wise, BMW checks all the boxes in all categories from powertrain to wheel/tire combination. All this with a smaller price tag. It’s a gorgeous bike.
I have a 23 grand america...I love the styling but there are some issues I'm wondering if anyone else has...first is the instability on the highway. When I'm behind cars or semitrucks, the front end wanders really bad and I find myself fighting to keep a straight line. Secondly is that the stock tires are so noisy...they roar really bad between 50 and 60 mph...after owning this bike I can honestly say it is not the ultimate touring machine. It's not a true bagger but rather a sport bike with storage. I'm really debating going back to a harley...
Very interesting! I would never own a K again. I had 2 of them. Last one was new, 18 GA. Once they collect miles, they can and will cause issues. They can be strange mechanically. I spent more time at the dealer then riding and NO, it wasn't a Lemon. Also, the wobble issues in DIRTY AIR effect was NOT GOOD. The handlebar steers slightly to the left was another issues for me. BMW limiting the speeds on them, I see why now. Do not shut her down while you are in REV mode. It could be a problem disengaging to N. Hard bike to work on. Parts and labor are HWY rubbery. Dealers are fading away. BMW car dealers should start working on them too, in the USA. If you want to work on it by yourself, you need to invest in a code reader unit. If you are 6' tall or above, trust me, you can't get comfortable on a long ride. I hope you will enjoy this machine. Its fun and strong, as long as she is not causing problems.
What it sounds like, because it’s what it is, is a reduced size and tweaked E46 M3 inline 6 BMW car engine. BMW’s inline 6 is probably the most famous 6 in auto history, but if you hate the way the M performance versions of that engine sounded, or prefer NASCAR’s sound to F1’s, you’ll hate this bike. If you don’t love the sound of an air-cooled V-twin, you might like it.
@@glencross4461 Thanks, Glen. I own a K1600GT, added a Remus exhaust, and I don't just like, but love, the sound. That BMW 6 is my favorite engine in all of motorcycling. My favorite sound is probably an inline 4 turning at over 10k rpm. But most V-twin guys don't like it.
Glen, please accept all the sounds like a sewing machine, weed wacker, electric lawnmower etc... comments like I do with humongous humility. Reason being, whenever you get to the destination safely, usually 10 or 20 minutes before EVERYONE ELSE, IN COMPLETE COMFORT, the silence and looks you’ll get are PRICELESS 😁 and when my wife isn’t looking, other people (of the opposite sex) will give you the thumbs up, how bout that 🤪😂 ENJOY!

I agree with you 100%! And thanks for watching!👍😎
Agree! And that’s why Harley will not get my business for their traditio Al offerings. Maybe Pan American
@@glencross4461 I think I have your old 2019 I’m in the Poconos hope to ride with you guys one day
I have been a BMW guy for 40 years. Also owned 3 HD’s since 2003. Current bikes 2017 GSA & 2022 RGST
Beautiful machine Glen
Good look with the transmition and revers

I almost bought the 1250rt it’s a really nice bike too.
I would have got rid of the older higher mileage one instead.
Same for me had an H2
Shame on you both, so much for adrenaline dumps.
Glen!! Dang brother that is a beauty. I like the looks of the mufflers. Enjoy.
Congrats Glen. Nice ride man. 👍
Glen!!!! Congratulations sir!!! 😎 you thought you were quick before. It’s a sport bike with bags. Not too fast now, ok 😁
Congrats to JAG! I saw some nice ones in that dealer 😮😁
Tell your friend I said congratulations and ride in good health. I bought the grand america from the the same salesman that sold you that
Congratulations Mr glen 🎉you definitely deserve it…. Good luck with it 💪🏼💪🏼
Congrats to Glenn! Awesome bike
Bro, I thought you were gonna say he traded the old one in cause it ran out of gas on him in Maine! 😂😂 Sweet lookin ‘23 he got!
Congratulations Glenn!! Great looking bike!!
I hope he swapped the pipes and backrest over
Awesome congratulations to Glenn on his new bike. All of you ride safe and enjoy. Always enjoy watching John.

Wow what a beauty! I’m a non Harley subscriber. I prefer Japanese and German.
congrats...that Bagger is nice
Fantastic cogratulations Glen!! Enjoy it!!
Good video. Nice looking bike there glen

Congratulations Glen. That’s a sweet looking bike
You can't go wrong with the BMW congratulations!!
Beautiful bike, just wish BMW would get rid of those clam shell bags. Congratulations Glenn, beautiful my friend!!
The route I'll ge going after the road glide serves its purpose
Hey, love your videos, can you ask Glen what windshield he has on that K1600. Thanks !
The company is called 7Jurock. Thanks for watching.👍🇺🇸😎
Congrats🎉 Glen must really like the 1600B to trade up for another.
Beautiful bike, I own a 21 K1600B. I love mine. My other bike happens to be a Victory cruiser that's all hot rodded with cams, pipes etc. These bmws are just so smoothe and powerful. They cover ground effortlessly.
Your money, your choice Glen. Congrats on your upgrade. Enjoy many trouble free miles.
The big BMWs are not helping my Road Glide’s continuing existence in my garage…
Allll that money for new bikes to sound quieter then my vacuum🤦🏼♂️🤣🤙🏼
Nice ride Glen. Congratulations
I’m sure it’s fully loaded and performs, but it has a look only a mother would lie about loving.
Don't hold back. tell us how you really feel.
thats exactly why I dont have one the little woman feels the same as you you can overlook alot these BMWs are something else
You save on insurance. So ugly, no one will steal it . Just kidding brother. Congrats. I hope you have many many happy miles.
🤮

I just trade in my Indian challenger for a K1600B 160 hp & 132 torque can’t wait to ride it, what did glen get for slip on’s
lol, reminds me of a story where a guy who was raving about getting a new car. He went from 6 year old Toyota Corolla, to a new Toyota Corolla. same trim and same color. Sometimes, when you find what you like, you stick to it.
Corolla are awesome cars
Congrats 🎈🎊🍾

Looks great. Congrats
Sweet bike! Congratulations🎉💯🔥 🏍️
Very nice bike. Rode one in Sturgis
Nice, all its missing is the bar and shield logo😅
Rob is going to have quite the party in November. His anniversary dinner a ride and a practice
That is a beautiful bike.
Smooth move! No one at home can react to a new bike!!! 😉😉😉
No no!
I just polish it honey..!😂
Why does Sandy’s actions when he is first started videoing the new bike (5:09) remind me of Joe Gatto from Impractical Jokers for some reason. 😂
Old bike has upgraded wheels (Option 719) compared to new bike
Yes, the wheels didn’t interest me too much. That’s why I didn’t go for them on the new bike. They faded on the old bike, so I just went with the stock black.. thanks for watching 👍🇺🇸😎
What's happening guys congratulations glen on new bike purchase
How many bikes does Glenn have? HD, BMW, Congrats 🎉
Must be good to buy an upgrade or the salesman has got your number. All the best man.
Congratulations! So is the Ducati for sale?
I like the beamers
Beautiful bike
Nice, I ride 2020 k1600 everything awesome except the maintenance.
The maintenance is easy far as I’m concerned way easier than a Harley I do oil changes myself. The only major is the valve adjustment at 18,000 miles I believe it’s $1800 but in my view it’s well worth it for the smiles you get.!!! thanks for watching👍💯🇺🇸😎
I have the k1600b and a Harley street glide
I’m beginning to believe this bike is far superior to Harley Davidson. Performance wise, BMW checks all the boxes in all categories from powertrain to wheel/tire combination. All this with a smaller price tag. It’s a gorgeous bike.
For sure thought it was going to be the r18 transcontinental. This bike is fugly, lol

Nice bike
I got my 23 grand america from these people
Nice bike. You were more excited over-that ugly gold wing and didn’t seem too excited for him.
Leave the bike alone!…stock…don’t change the mufflers or anything!…you’ll ruin the killer looks!…perfect the way it is!
Love my '18. Hate the new headlights hate the display on new.
I don’t like it as if I chose a bike like that it would be the Honda Goldwing Bagger ✌️👍👌
I’m definitely choosing the BMW
Those pipe ends are HUUUUUGE. 6:03
Everyone knows BMW stands for Broke My Wallet. 🤣
