I really like this review because it is thorough and not a scrappy computer voice. Keep up the bike reviews and great narration. I agree that it is quite a fun bike to ride! We are out here to enjoy riding them, and this BMW is right on for that!
Picked up mine 2 weeks ago. Traded a 2016 GSA. What a powerful beast, I am in love with this bike. Negatives? Speakers suck, but I never use external audio anyway. Seat had to go, added a Sargent with driver backrest. Great review, thanks!
Great to hear. I love mine too. it is an addiction for me. I am going with the new Sargent seat with back rest that just hot of the press. Not cheap !!!!
I’ve been away from BMW for a few years & just purchased a 2019 K1600B. So far it’s nearly the perfect bike for this aging biker. I’m now going to sell my HD CVO Ultra Classic & Indian Chief. I just don’t see the need for multiple bikes any longer. Taxes & maintenance suck.
Kinda back to front, no? Go from a non-performance bike to a performance bike as you get older? I’m kinda doing the same actually, just sold a Honda Rune and about to buy a K1600B! Ride safe!
Its have the same price as harley rdking in Thailand(a bit cheaper!) I prefer this bike than the harley!lol.... But i most likely never have a chance to buy or ride!lol....
I've got a K1600 GTL. I've put about 50 miles on it and I think I made a purchasing mistake and I'm going to get rid of it. It's an ok bike. It's sporty, but not as fast as a sport bike. The position of the footpegs isn't comfortable for any length of time. It's got bags, but it's not as good as an Electra Glide. The radio is inadequate. The mouse wheel control is stupid. The wind tosses it around. Now that I've spent a little time with it, I just don't like it that much and regret buying it.
There are lot's of tips about that. 130 mph is 208 kmph. The test bike could run over 215 according to the dashboard, but it didn't end as an electronic limit (cut the acceleration and that's all), but the bike simply ran out of power. At least this was the feeling.
The bike is speed limited to 130mph, it will run 130mph in sixth gear, it runs 130mph in fifth gear, it does not run out of power cruise control is just set from the factory at a max of 130mph, this speed was GPS speed on Montana Hwy 212 Aug, 5, 9:00 - 9:30 AM. Vehicle speeds always read high, by design, plus, tire size, tire wear, and tire pressure effect the speedometer reading. The actual readings were 130mph/209kph GPS and speedo indicated speed showed 134mph/215kph. I Now have over 14,000 miles, 22,500km on this K1600B not just a 10 mile test ride.
That is kinda funny. Also how much you wanna bet the cbx straight 6 inspired BMW and the boxer from BMW inspired Honda. Or maybe Porsche motors but horizontally opposed cylinder layouts. Crazy. Honda needs to make a big bore straight 6 sport tourer too. CBX 1800!! With 200 hp lol. That would be sweet😜.
Flying Dog Right?! These guys crack me up with their, ‘OH, it’s not the concept so fuck it” comments. Bikes and cars have to comply with different government laws and regulations which influence how the machine is ultimately produced. Notwithstanding, BMW DID A FINE JOB WITH THIS.
Ha már egyszer magyar vagy, akkor mi lenne ha magyarul próbálnád elmondani a lényeget? Külföldön akarod reklámozni, vagy Magyarországon..? Voltak már jobb videóid is, ahol nem esett nehezedre magyarul megszólalni..! Azokat lájkoltam, ezt nem fogom!
Thank you, yours is the first video of any bike to show the display in the dark so it can really be seen. Thank you.

I like the look from the back the best and I like the low warning lights in the front
I love this bike. It's easy for a new rider to control and manage before they decide on a Harley or Indian or any other brand. Love the ride modes.
Your was very good because you the front of the bike and also showed night riding so we could see what the dash looked. Thank you.

My street Bob will go in favor of a B or GT.
Great review, the best I have seen for this bike!
Hard to choose between the B>. Very nice video
you can change the screen :) i did it on my GS and put the one of the GSA
Excellent review! I have a '14 Honda F6B and I will definitely take a look at this BMW.
If you have not done that yet, you must !!!! I love mine.
That's great I owned 14 f6b and liked it.This past summer bought this bmw 1600b and love it.Go check one out let me tell you the motor is addicting
Now that I’m more mature I think I’m going to look at a BMW motorcycle as I’ve ridden Harley Davidson for the last 12 years.

Great video. Well done. :)
I want this
Any tall guys ride one? I’m 6’5” tall.
It is speed limited from the factory at 130mph.

the GT is not
I thought it was limited until first service.
Looks like it would be a cramped ride
how tall are you ?
valmont112 190 cm, 6'3"
7:54 your welcome
The Vmax 1700 is the best bike in the World.
Doctor Music 😁😁😁😁😁
An inline 6 by BMW and a flat 6 by Honda. What's happening to the world?
Lots of nice things! :-)
That is kinda funny. Also how much you wanna bet the cbx straight 6 inspired BMW and the boxer from BMW inspired Honda. Or maybe Porsche motors but horizontally opposed cylinder layouts. Crazy.

WARNING contains spoon licking.
Unfortunately looks nothing like the BMW concept bike, that was beautiful. shame
Then don't buy it sissyboy

Looks like a scooter.
it looks like a old, fat whale and sounds like a small car. zero emotions. I don`t get it.
D. L. Try one. Try the competition. Then see how you feel.
Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries
Hey old fat whale do not comment on a bike that you can't afford ...
D. L.That is what your mother says to your father.
This bike will BLOW the aftermarket pipes off you’re Hardley in 2 seconds ! Hamster 🐹 J.R.
Ha már egyszer magyar vagy, akkor mi lenne ha magyarul próbálnád elmondani a lényeget?
Külföldön akarod reklámozni, vagy Magyarországon..?
Voltak már jobb videóid is, ahol nem esett nehezedre magyarul megszólalni..! Azokat lájkoltam, ezt nem fogom!
