Owned a 2018 k1600 and it is by FAR the best touring motorcycle I’ve ever owned. The inline 6 is an absolute masterpiece. It is the smoothest engine I’ve ever experienced on any vehicle with insane power and stump pulling torque. It’s really cool that you have made an already great motorcycle even better😱😳. Can’t wait to see that new 719 color option in person😁
How do you compare it to goldwing 2022? How DCT on gold wing can get advantage on the bmw ? Im planning to get 2022 model but really both are good and gold as i see most bikers Bmw k1600 gm not stable at high speed this is why they limit the speed to 101 mhp. It will be my first bike
@@bmwmotorrad Wow… how do I answer a question like that? There are so many great memories to choose from it’s hard to decide which one. I guess my favorite memory is taking a one day 6 hour trip to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with my wife and when I asked her how she liked the ride she said it felt like she was riding on a cloud. We have owned many touring motorcycles and she has always found the ride too harsh or the engine has too much vibration. The k1600 was the first motorcycle she had nothing but good things to say, so that’s one memory I won’t forget. That is just one memory of many great memories on the mighty k1600. Thank you for making motorcycles that both my wife and I love to ride
Thanks for sharing one of your memories! 😍 We appreciate it! ☺️Please send our regards to your wife too. 🤗 We wish you further beautiful tour memories! 😍
I’ll be upgrading to one of these soon. Got my order in ! Had one previously a few years ago. I opted for option 719 mineral white metallic colours on mine !
Nice work BMW. Always have a great looking and riding motorcycle. Now let’s bring in the new GTL and GT! Then let’s add some backlit handlebar switches for night riding and a phone charging port big enough for popular plus size phones.
Hi, I am a BMW motorcycle owner from China. I have a 2020 r1250gs exclusive. I have booked 2022 k1600b at an authorized dealer. I want to know when it will be sold in China. At present, there is no accurate time. tell me pls, This is very important to me . thx 😊
Thanks for reaching us, Salmy! 😊 We're glad to hear you like your R 1250 GS and the K 1600 B! 😍 And don't hesitate to get in touch with your local dealer for more information about the availability. He can advise you best. The local dealer can be found at www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer. What was your favourite highlight with your R 1250 GS? 😊
You need to MIC up. Will go along way to improve the video, as straining to hear what you are saying but yet the Music is loud. A wire les mic will defiantly help.
I'm not really getting it to blast my music through an advanced loudspeaker system into the wilderness when I can have it inside my helmet in even better quality and without annoying other people. 🤷🏼♂️
Does the phone have to be connected via cable to get all the features of the 2.0 system or can it connect via BT/Wi-Fi? Does the BT function well with non-BMW helmet systems (was an issue with the old system)?
@@Rambler358 it's not stupid because it's limited due to instability at speed, it's stupid because it's unstable at speed and has to be limited...the B is good for 110, the GA should be made to be so too..
Hi there, thanks for reaching us! 😊 The audio system's sound occurs either via the vehicle's loudspeakers or via an output device connected via Bluetooth. 😊 Please find more details about the audio system here: www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/engineering/detail/navigation-communication/audiosystem.html And please get in touch with your local dealer for further information: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer 🙌 If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us! 🙌 All the best, Your BMW Motorrad Team
Just purchased the 2022 Bagger. I'm curious about the Slip Stream Deflectors - Does these cover the space under the seat, right beneath the side panel? I truly hate that open gap!
Hi Darryl, congratulations on your bike! 😍👌 And thanks for your message about the slip stream deflectors! ☺️🙌 The slip stream deflector is located in the upper part of the front side fairing. For example, you can fold out this part to increase fresh air flow during hot weather.☀️ If you have further questions, feel free to ask us anytime!🤗 All the best, Your BMW Motorrad Team
Hello Oguzhan, thank you for reaching out to us! You can find your closest local dealer here: www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer. All the best, your BMW Motorrad Team
One thing I really hoped you would be adding this year is ventilated seats for cooling . With all the wind blocking this bike makes , hot summer riding would not be very comfortable.
Thanks for your feedback! 🙌 Please appreciate that we do not make statements regarding our model policy. We're happy to keep you updated with the latest information about our bikes on our channels and not to miss anything.🙌

Hi Manuel, thanks for your question! ☺️No, the BMW K 1600 models have a 6-speed, helical, gearbox, but with a quick shift function, where it can operate the gears without a clutch. If you have further questions, don't hesitate to contact your local dealer or us! ☺️ The local dealer can be found at www.bmw-motorrad.com/dealer.🙌
Great detailed review, but the topic changing music is much too loud and a real distraction. So annoying that I stopped watching the video and did not give thumbs up. Great bikes.
I've test ridden a B at the local dealer, Great engine and brakes. Handles well. But they still have those dated twist wheels, other than the factory forged which are nice. And that water paint is just butt ugly. Wish somebody at the factory would listen to US riders and find out what we really are looking for.
They did add many new features that US K1600 riders are looking for. As a 2016 owner, it is now time to upgrade :) Regarding color... you do have more than 1 option. It will be interesting to see, based on US sales, if the Midnight is considered butt ugly by more than just Greg from the US. I'm waiting to see it in person before I voice my 'opinion'.
From the US here, I have never sat on a BMW motorcycle, until today. However, I continually circled the motorcycle before getting on, to admire how absolutely stunning this bike is! The color is some type of military green, and I know that's a horrible color description. It's like a matte green. I'm not one for motorcycles that I have a lot of plastic however, closely inspecting the bike all the pieces fit together better than my son's Lego set. Just to be clear, I am not a BMW guy. But after today, this American is a BMW guy! To the gentleman who did this review, thank you very much I thoroughly enjoyed it, hello from the good old USA!
I think the overly load thrash metal guitar music is really missing if not outright offending your target audience. No cutaway of the engine or gear box?
No more BMW K for me. I had 2 and was enough for me. Do not buy a used one without factory warranty!!!!! It’s a crime. Moreover, dealers are fading away. BMW should have car dealership repair them. Crazy to work on, oil change dual plugs, stupid idea. Too much can go wrong with them and repairs are sick expensive, if you don’t need to wait till parts are coming from Germany. It is a fun machine to run. Shift assist is 10. This bike hates too cold or too hot starts. Hot days, forget it….stop and go traffic, the fans are always on and cook you.
You can’t hear the stereo with a full face Shoei helmet above 40mph with the bagger model. Stereo on this 2022 K1600b is absolute garbage. BMW should be ashamed.
I own a 21 K1600B. These bikes are awesome.
I have a 2020 GA can’t wait to get the new one. Love the TFT. I just got the 21 GTR and it’s amazing to.
That's what we like to hear, Roger! 😊 Thank you for your feedback! 😍 Where will your next tour take place? 😎
I would love to take it on the autobahn. The 719 midnight caught my attention.😍

Thank you, Martin! ☺️ We agree with you! 😎 What do you like about it?
I bet they’re amazing to ride! Not my style, but I can very much see the appeal 👌🏼
They are fantastic to ride! 😊 We suggest you do a test ride and make your own judgement. 😎
