You might want to try or start practicing when you downshift to match your engine revs with your downshifting that's hard on a transmission and the motor.😂🤣😭😢
@@tinoroguljic3204 Of course this bike has a clutch (unlike the Africa Twin with DCT for example). You can see him using the clutch in the roundabout.

*ENJOY!* Wish me luck, guys! I finally caught the virus as well and now I'm hoping it won't get too bad. Because quarantine means time for editing RAWs ;)
185 / 5 000 The whistle of the 6-cylinder in-line is still just as pleasurable in the revs. The low-sounding rumblings seem to be missing when the throttle is frankly cut off. I will keep my 2018 :-)
When I FIRST saw one of your videos, I thought you were a bit of a maniac. ;) Then after seeing the types of videos listed on your page, I realized that's just how you ride EVERY bike. And you're a very skilled rider. So now, I'm rather addicted to your videos! hahahaha I've been watching so many of them, even tho I know I'll never own the bikes in question. It's fun to see how hard a bike CAN be ridden, even if 99% of the viewers here will never get close to the level at which you're riding. I think you provide the BEST POV onboard videos here on youtube!! Great sound, riding, and video. Thanks for the great content!!
Excellent demonstration of that beautiful 6cycl beast of a motor! I love how it rumbles off the higher RPM range and how the motor doesn't seem to protest at all during your 6th gear demonstration. Well done and executed Sir!
To each his own I guess. I tried out the Goldwing before buying my K16GTL and to me the BMW was the hands-down winner in every category. Only exception is the stereo. But since I use Sena exclusively, the bike speakers don’t really mean anything to me.
@@Schaaf yup… 🤣🤣🤣… you can’t take any constructive criticism whatsoever mate. If you’re going to post videos on a public platform, you’ve got to expect some criticism. Get over yourself bud
@@Schaaf You notice these things when you know how to ride properly. I see a lot of videos and I cringe on how some people ride in the Twisties. Ride safe and enjoy.
Very intresting notes and honest review! Beautifull engine (K1300 as well) with the advantage of huge torque! Lovely riding style Schaaf👏 Wish u a speed recovery (you are too fast for this virus😁😎)
Well I just took delivery of the Gt. Same color. I have owned several BMWs. I transitioned front an R1250 RT. This bike is by far the most fun I’ve had so far. All BMW radio sucks. But the bike is awesome. Thanks for sharing the video
Thanks. I enjoyed this virtual ride out on the BMW. The course at this speed is tricky to say the least though it gives a lot of pleasure when you get your breath back.
Different strokes for different folks... If your top priority is "rocking chair" then the Goldwing is for you. But, if Sport Touring long trips are your priority the K1600GT is #1. I've got over 95,000 miles on a GT and have loved every minute!
I agree Duane I’ve ran mine for the last 5 years covered 19 countries and it never fails to put a grin on my face. Loaded or unloaded she pulls like a beast always.
I bought one of these recently but now it's gotten too cold to ride it. Listening to this to get my fix. The audio in your videos is the best of any motorcycle guy on youtube by far.
I have one and it has loads more clearance in the turns thanks something like a Goldwing. If you also add some body positioning, you can actually drag knee on this bike. It’s a monster. With the telelever front end, you can actually push so hard on the front tire you can feel when it starts to push when you’re on the absolute limit. I ride it around the twisties in and around Tail of the Dragon and very sport bikes can keep up.
Wow. I would like to ride/learn to ride like that. ( Goes to cycle trader to find out how much it costs, expecting to get get disappointed by pricing..continues to dream..maybe someday.. )
@@umakantgajjewar8898 I got my 2015 in 2020 with 1500 miles for $15k. My ZX14r would be more fun but it’s a 3 hour drive to the Smoky’s and I find it hard to do more than 5 hours on that. I have a GS but it’s not nearly as fun on-road. This bike can easily keep you in the saddle 10-12 hours and you can still rip it when you arrive at the twisties.
There is something magical about motorcycle engines with cylinders in 3 or 6 arrangements. To my ears it is hard to beat the sound of a triple but these opposed 6's are a close 2nd! Best sounding modern BMW in my opinion!
I have a GT with The Akras sounds slightly more robust, but that was a hell of a ride, I couldn't do that until I had a few passes to learn that road. Kudos
Beautiful sounds from that six cylinder. I love hustling big tourers down twisty roads. Pity about the gearbox though! Always a blast watching you ride!
Schaaf, I wish you get well. If you have time in the future I will kindly suggest you to ride in the same road with you drove goldwing. The road in this record seems having too many sharpen curves and K1600 is heavy bike. I had both GW and GTL, I honestly expected that GT will make you more happy especially in terms of performance. Thanks for sharing, best wishes!
Ich finde den bassigen Sound bei niedrigen Drehzahlen sehr geil, erinnert mich an die herrlichen BMW-Reihensechser in den E36/E46 Modellen der 3er-Reihe.
Amazing video ! I own a 1250 GS Adventure HP and just ordered this 1600 GT to get the power I miss and some good racing sound. Best regards from Spain ^ ^
I rode one of these in bagger form at a BMW test ride event. I have an S1000R and a KTM 1190 now, but I can’t get the image of trading them in for one of these out of my head. This motor is pure joy to ride slow, and pure giggles to wring out. I’m also old, so maybe that’s my problem.
Oh My God.. i was checking about this bike as I am shifting from Kawasaki ZX14r to something like BMW K1600 or Goldwing. This is stock sound of this bike?? With Akrapovic slip-on, the sound of this beast will be mindblowing. Decided after watching video.. thanks a ton..
I'm sure the BMW is indeed faster though the big Wing sounds much better. I shopped them both and bought the Wing bagger for its lower center of gravity which may not have mattered 30 years ago but does to me now. Excellent video as always.
By the way Schaaf, there are three types of windshields available as I found after looking to the page of BMW, so you should not complain about that, without mention it. You seem to be bigger than average, as I see in the shadow falling on the street, so you need some other shield.
I'm absolutely allowed to complain since this bike boasts to be a super long distance tourer. It absolutely needs to provide perfect wind protection with every kind of shield. It simply fails to do so. They need to take a look at Honda to learn how to do it right
I Owned a 2015 1600 GT towed a small camper trailer behind it . Its the best bike I have ever ridden and the worst thing I did was sell it but I hope to buy another one. But I see why BMW say dont tow a trailer very hard to take off in first gear . but touring Australia for 26 days was pure bliss
Man this bike is the Porsche 911 Speedster of bikes, it’s simply fast for a bike of this type and feels luxurious and premium, if money wasn’t an issue, I’d go ahead and buy this as my first bike
So many times I see people comparing the 1600 GT (I have 2 of them currently) to the Goldwing. They are ENTIRELY different bikes, but the K1600 can do pretty much EVERRYTHING that a goldwing can, the opposite can in no regard be said of the Goldwing. Great riding and fabulous roads. Where was this footage please? :) (y) Also, the full Remus exhaust really makes th 1600 sing!
Own a K1600 GA now and had a 21 GW. The GW wins on interstate hiways. It’s more stable with better wind protection. Every other category, the K bike wins.
Mensch Schaaf, das Ding muss dringend zur Reparatur! Zwischen 5243 und 5312 Umdrehungen hört man ein leises klingeln des 3. Zylinders, bestimmt bald ein kapitaler Motorschaden....😂😎 Hat wieder Spaß gemacht die Wuchtbrumme im Galopp zu sehen und zu hören. Wie immer: Deine Kurvenlinie "Schaafissimo" 👍
The "please read the description" message is golden! 🤦🏿♂️ Tired of ppl asking some pointless questions which I take soo much time to list out in the description 🤦🏿♂️
I’m (only) 30 years old, I used to ride daytona675… R1 … shits like that. after having test this k1600gt I gonna buy one for long trips. It’s a really really good bike ! ✌️
Beautifully shot video. Can I ask what your gopro settings were? And did you use ND filter? Also what are you using to capture audio. Just experimenting with manual control on mine now.
Sounds awesome to see the bike getting chucked about and the quick shifter seems a bit notched to the gear change,,but WOW that's one great motorcycle ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️ from northern Ireland
Thanks for the nice video Schaaf! How is the gearbox ? I had 2 BMs in the past (1200rt and 1300gt, but it was in the pre-shifter era) and hated their gearboxes (slow and ‘klonk’) even if great bikes otherwise. Has BMW learned since to provide gearboxes in line with the price of their bikes ?
Everybody knows bmw gearboxes are rough and clunky no matter what oil you use, in this video also you can hear how bad the gearbox sounds in the lower gears when downshifting.
Spot on !!! That's why I moved to the new Goldwing. Goldwing checked all the boxes for me. I am just hoping Honda, one day, will offer a quick shift assist like the BMW. For what I paid for my Tour, I got what I wanted. I love mine !!!!
I love this bike, it's freaking awesome, it has all you need... sound, performance, comfort, but I've a question for you schaaf. Have you taken a look at the fuel consumption of this bike? I've a friend with the previous model and he told me that it drinks a lot...
I guess if you give it the beans, Schaaf is 💯 correct. I have a 22 model GT as well, but not this LCI model. My bike has only 2000km on it, but if I ride it around 140 - 150km/h on open roads, I am getting about 450km on a tank. I think that's excellent, considering it's a 6-cylinder marvel.
I’ve a 2017 gtl and hit 500 when touring so for me there is no other bike that comes close. But also when I push her she drops to around 320km to a tank still awesome I think for such a big bike
Nice ride. I love your videos. When i test the k I felt really uncomfortable, don't know why. I went to a Honda dealer and wait for a gold to test. Finally, I got the goldwing. The bagger one. I love it, it is not así sporty as the k, but it is really easy and comfortable to ride. Vssss
Very very well done. Be careful out there. The sound though makes me want to rip as well..i think everyone wants a bike like this but is intimidated by speed and corners. But it seems like these things handle all by themselves.
You ride on the open road specially in the mountains with bicycles, tractors, cows, hikers, . you ride like a civilized person with honour and dignity. Not like an idiot.

You might want to put in some research before you embarrass yourself with a comment like that.
It doesn't have clutch
@@tinoroguljic3204 Of course this bike has a clutch (unlike the Africa Twin with DCT for example). You can see him using the clutch in the roundabout. Also bikes with DCT have some additional controls for parking mode, handbrake (where the clutch usually is) and manual shifting.
To the comment and video: he uses the quickshifter for up- (and blipper for down-) shifting - so rev matching is completely unnecessary.
No rev matching as in quickshifter pro…?
I love that this is pinned
You played that 6 cilinder beautifully, Maestro!

How is the gearbox ? I had 2 BMs in the past (1200rt and 1300gt, but it was in the pre-shifter era) and hated their gearboxes (slow and ‘klonk’) even if great bikes otherwise. Has BMW learned since to provide gearboxes in line with the price of their bikes ?
They sure have improved a lot, yes.
You were using the wrong type of oil
Everybody knows bmw gearboxes are rough and clunky no matter what oil you use, in this video also you can hear how bad the gearbox sounds in the lower gears when downshifting.
Geartbox sounds a bit, but the shifter is a must have since 2018 at least, from 1-2 to 5-6 up and down.

Nice ride. I love your videos. When i test the k I felt really uncomfortable, don't know why. I went to a Honda dealer and wait for a gold to test. Finally, I got the goldwing. The bagger one. I love it, it is not así sporty as the k, but it is really easy and comfortable to ride. Vssss
Great choice!
Just bought one. Looking forward to my first big trip. Learning how to manage the power.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very very well done. Be careful out there. The sound though makes me want to rip as well..i think everyone wants a bike like this but is intimidated by speed and corners. But it seems like these things handle all by themselves.
They do
Does the "blur-speedo-above-130" feature come as standard?
it's a pricy extra
I thought this model only had a 4 cylinder. Glad to be proven wrong, it sounds glorious like an old Alfa Busso V6.
Thanks
Great vid mate..you almost convince me to buy one…almost🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
Go for it!
You ride on the open road specially in the mountains with bicycles, tractors, cows, hikers, . you ride like a civilized person with honour and dignity.
Not like an idiot.
Un essai comme on aime!
Merci!
De rien
What a bike!
thanks
i like the new "description" talk :)
Thanks Ercan
wow it sounds incredible... imagine it with a full system
thanks
…tolles Video. Das Getriebe ist immer noch so ätzend laut wie vor rund 10 Jahren. Wann verbessert BMW das Mal?
Danke! Gute Frage. Die K1600 als EURO-5 Version ist tatsächlich ein eher schwaches Update
Schaaf burning $9,000 worth of fuel to bring us this treat because the sound is worth it 👌
Hahaha
Sexiest sounding bike alive, hands down. A two wheeled 911 yaw.
Thanks
