@@thegiveawayguys can you please review the Speed Triple 1200 Rs because I have one and I’m starting to hate it 😢, is there something wrong with me or the bike 😂! help lol 😂
I had this bike last month and just swapped it for the R1250 R for the summer, the K1600 is a special bike and you’re exactly right, you can do 100 miles on the motorway and when you get off you don’t even realise you’ve been on a bike , it’s sublime , but it’s jewel in the crown is just how it “ looks after you” 😂 it’s like driving a car with the windows open, most bikes are like “ I can go fast and throw you in that hedge if you want…up to you I’m not fussed “ haha , whereas this bike is more like “ Don’t worry I’ve got you it’s only a 200 mile trip I’ll let you know when we’re nearly there “! 😂
I have a 1600 B that I just love. The GT is similar to my B. The GT is even more sporty and a little more performance orientated. The 1600 motor is incredible. ❤ Gaurenteed to put a smile on your face.
This was SO good!! I was supposed to be off to bed, just after 2am, and now look what you've done! I won't be able to sleep until I've watched a video on the GTL. I can only pray that it stop there... Thank you for the entertainment & that truly frightening ride!! I loved how the external cams had you pottling about, and the first person messed up my breathing pattern. Hope you've had a good year since. Easy sub!
A great video and what a road too! I've just brought a 2017 GTL with all the extras on and know exactly what you mean about the speed, power and the intoxicating sound track.
The is surly wonderful as long as you don’t have issues with them. These bikes can be a challenge to own. They have there own minds due to massive amount of sensitive sensors. Out of no where, engine light comes on. Moreover, engine could shutdown at any speeds. To reset or clear the light you need to get the GS scanner or run to the dealer. Dealers in the USA are running low. Make sure you have one close by. Parts are expensive and hard to get. Working on them is not easy, compare to many sport touring out there. I have owned 2 and no more for me. Some may be lucky to run high miles with no issues, trust me, they will come. It’s a shame cause I wanted to love this bike. FJR is a fantastic bike compare to the K. I moved to a new Goldwing and I will never look back.
Thank you for posting such an honest appraisal. I have read a few 'honest' reviews, and it is these that I tend to believe the most. Ironically I also like the FJR, and am currently tempted between the two.
@@BibtheBoulder Look, the K is a truly fun, powerful machine. The new gen GT is a beautiful machine, just be prepared, in case you run into strange issues as they age/ pile miles. The FJR is a trouble free machine. Whatever you ride, ride safe.
hello from South Africa 🇿🇦. enjoyed your review. did you ride a goldwing, and if so, how do they compare? on a lighter note, that caravan was motoring.....yoi had the speed blurred out and still never overtook it?
I have the same dilemma; I keep trying to convince myself that the RT is enough (which it is I guess), but I've always loved the smoothness of my old 1100 Blackbird and an extra 2 cylinders is a no brainer. Its just so heavy though!
I’ve owned an 19’ RT since new. Today I’m buying a K1600GT. RT is a very good motorcycle, but if you’re really into crushing big miles, the ‘1600 is the way to go!
I own one and it's the best or better ,the smoothiest bike i ever had. There's nothing that comes close ,in my humble experience. forgive me my poor englisch.
Adventure bikes aren’t doing anything better than touring bikes. They all have lackluster engines that are low on power, and they corner like pigs because of their height. It’s really apples and oranges.

Any chance of an update? I am currently considering one....any thoughts welcomed.
If you ride it in the rain and lean forward the screen clears your visor on your helmet for you too , it’s genius 👍🏾
Your enthusiasm is infectious; will be testing a K1600 on Saturday after a life of Rs

What an enthusiastically engaging review!
The GTL is a rockets, so I decided on the R1250RT which is lighter and very Flickable
Was thinking of buying a k1600 but so many reports of unreliability and problems so went Goldwing instead. No regrets at all.
Did the same in 2021
I love this review! I'm tempted to pick up a used one and give up my versys 1000. My only concern is the size and degree of knee bend.
Love this bike... Ill never go off road so this is the perfect bike for its type
Iknow what you mean, I drive 2014 K1600GT Mutch beter driving like my old Yamaha FJR 1300. Very smooth to acceleration, for speciale movements. Super
Good video but your bike seems to have lost 1000cc. 😮 3:35
1.Which year model is this k1600 gt se 6 cylinder?
2. Can I have second hand used for sale, I want to buy exactly this?
When you jump on a bike and mid review you burst out laughing, you know it’s a great bike 👍🏾😀

Awesome vlog 💐 Thank you so much ☺️
Great review thanks 😊
Don't understand why the dashboard was blurred out the whole time??? Still a good video though!!
Please, do the same with the RT as I can't make my decision between the two. I also come adv bikes (GSs). Thx
I have the same dilemma; I keep trying to convince myself that the RT is enough (which it is I guess), but I've always loved the smoothness of my old 1100 Blackbird and an extra 2 cylinders is a no brainer. Its just so heavy though!

I don't understand why you hide the TFT SCREEN? what's the problem ? First time I see a shot like this?
Great review 👍👍👍👍
I own one and it's the best or better ,the smoothiest bike i ever had. There's nothing that comes close ,in my humble experience. forgive me my poor englisch.
Wow.... I'd love one
Hi, how tall are you ?
OK, I want one.
Am very much interested about this particular bike. I need to buy it . Please let talk.
We don't sell bikes buddy
Can you link me up were I can buy the bike, clean used
I loved the GT but found it a little too top heavy!
The bike us awesome, however, the buffeting is horrible, not matter what you do! Also,is very maintenance intensive!
Just stick a Cal Science windshield on it and problem solved.
Enjoyed your video except for your engine sound effects

Csodaszép🏍
The audio setup on this video sux...
It was a while ago, changed the set up since

649cc!?!
Lost me on your praise of bmw brakes
Not sure about the "white" treatment. Looks too 1980's.
Reminds me of a hot fudge sundae.
