If you really want to see the K1600's smoothness shine, stop using the clutch and modulating the throttle for shifts and put the shift assist to work. Don't let off the throttle on upshifts even at full throttle (ECU does it for you when you pull the shifter up). For downshifts, let off the throttle and kick it down without the clutch. The revs will match.

Thanks.

Great overview. I was able to test ride both the R 18 B and K 1600 B on the same day. What a smooth engine that K 1600 has. I thoroughly enjoyed them both in different ways. @Texas2Tires

@sanantoniotonight5569 Год назад

I own a 2018 B, absolutely a delight to ride, or just sit and stare at....I did add a sargent seat with backrest and a much larger windscreen.

@philiprobinson593 Год назад

Great video David as always. I would be interested in your thoughts if you had to decide on this bike against a Harley.

It’s a beauty,

@reddog8145 Год назад

A full face helmet will fit in if you put it in on its side. I put mine in like this every time I leave my bike when at work. I also think there is a slight size difference between the 2 panniers as my helmet fits better in the left than the right.

@22Royston Год назад

Appreciated that, Thanks -just traded my Streetglide for the K1600 GT, slightly different to the B and whole world different to the Harley. Ride safe.

@That_Paul_Guy Год назад

I was considering another Road Glide but value for money, the B seems like the winner. I rode a friends a couple weekends ago and it was remarkable.

@bombombimbim440 Год назад

But k1600 is heavier and wider than a glide bro....

@m.f.m.67 Год назад

@@bombombimbim440 What! Not a chance. K1600b is only 750 lbs. Street Glide is over 800 lbs. Road Glide Ultra is 900 lbs!!!!

How would you rate the wind stability versus other bagger options ? I'm in Las Vegas and the wind can be brutal out on the open road running through the desert. I'm on a Multistrada 1260S now. Love the bike, but I get hammered by the wind, even with a much larger Puig touring windscreen. Thanks.

@rattler7669 Год назад

😮David it was said if you get footboards you pay extra, the bike don’t come with them.

@jack4668 3 месяца назад

Hi David, I'm writing to you from Italy, I currently have a 2022 R1250rt and before that a Gs 1200 Adv. My wife and I travel a lot by motorbike, so what is the ideal motorbike for traveling the R1250rt? But I got a stomach ache from the K1600 Bagger, it drives me crazy, it's beautiful, I ask you: Is it suitable for long journeys for 2, I'm 180 cm tall and the saddle is 750 mm high, could I have sitting problems? Congrats for the video. Thank you.

@Donfleebie1 11 месяцев назад

That bike sounds like my old 1979 Yamaha XS Eleven.

@reddog8145 Год назад

Did you try putting the full faced helmet in the pannier side on. I have a full face helmet and it fits that way no problem. Bottom of the helmet facing out. I have the k1600 midnight 719. Love the bike.

@BigDavesPlace Год назад

No - I didn't try that. I had a quick look and it wasn't going to fit 'normally'. The dealer told me it couldn't be done when I picked the bike up. So I didn't try too hard. Cheers.

@paultansey8706 Год назад

Thanks for that, why didn't you use the quick shifter?

@BigDavesPlace Год назад

I ... errrr ... forgot it had one. Next time.

@thethirstytourists Год назад

Great review, ive just traded my 2019 HD CVO Street Glide 131ci Stage 4 for one of these. Waiting for it to arrive, I had my hert set on a GT the seat height was a killer for my short arse legs.

@Quik22 Год назад

I sold the exact same bike but mine had a Fuel Moto 128. I purchased a 2022 K1600B and absolutely love it.

@Kevin_Ho70 Год назад

Both you guys read my mind! I have a 2020 GSA1250 and was planning on getting the HD Road Glide Performance ST. Now, if those two MC had a baby 🐣… I think it would be this BMW K1600 B! 😍

@Quik22 Год назад

@@Kevin_Ho70 I assure you, there is no performance in the HD Road Glide ST, those bikes seem to be Harleys attempt to cash grab from the king of the baggers race series crowd. My cvo had the same 117 when it was stock and it’s No Performance engine for sure. My new B would smoke my cvo even after I spent over $5k in the engine, not to mention the far superior handling, comfort and ride. Now I don’t say that because I’m a HD hater because I’m not, I love motorcycles of all kinds regardless of what emblem is on the tank, I do however like riding the ones that check my boxes and my new B does just that (For now, LoL)

@Kevin_Ho70 Год назад

@@Quik22 @TC. Thank you for the feedback, Brother! 🙏 Did you upgrade the exhaust on the BMW Bagger yet?

@Quik22 Год назад

@@Kevin_Ho70 yes sir, I initially ran freedom performance exhaust on my B but now have the Remus quad system and it is awesome!

@DanielA23 Год назад

Actually not very expensive compared to a Harley. Especially one that matches it in performance.

@DanielA23 Год назад

@@eddiebenzz no shit. Who was talking about stock?

@Quik22 Год назад

Purchase price is less than harley but when you start buying aftermarket goodies for the Beamer.......Ouch! a good exhaust for the K1600 is outrageous!!!!

@DanielA23 Год назад

@@Quik22 My HD exhaust was over 1K. Its Akropovic though which is what I would get for the K1600. That and a tune is really all you would need to do for the K1600 though. For the HD to even be close performance wise it would cost well over 5K in motor work. Yes BMW in general is more expensive service wise but HD hasnt moved the needle much in the last 40 years.

@Quik22 Год назад

@@DanielA23 I had roughly 5k in my cvo’s motor and exhaust and in a straight line it was a little faster than my 2022 B. Akra slip ons and Bren tune for the k1600 is $3k (2200 for exhaust, mufflers only, 800 for Bren tune) I am running Remus quad exhaust and Bren on my bike now and while it didn’t add much power it did smooth out a lot of things and does run much better overall.

@DanielA23 Год назад

@T C Yeah I have a Vrod so it's a lot closer and 5k in motor work would put me a lot faster depending on gearing. I do think I'm going to go with the K1600 over another HD or Indian though.
