BMW braking using the front lever brakes both the back & front brake together (computer managed) - thus the ABS kicking in when you stepped on the back brake, as this adds further back brake pressure. Back pedal not required except in emergencies.
The K is fun to ride, very powerful and sexy looking. The shift assist is superb, but be aware. If they start causing issues, mechanical/electrical and you are out of warranty, be prepared to use your CC, cause it will COST. Always own one with factory coverage. Moreover, not many dealers around. More likely, you will need to ride far for any service. Better to find out if the dealer can give you a loaner, just in case.
@@MidgetMoto I had 2 of them, over the years. Used 2016 GTLE and new Grand America. Sadly, both gave me not so good taste. I always had something going on. Oil changes was a pain with the sump oil pan. Sold them both and now I am on a new Goldwing DCT. AMAZING BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@MidgetMoto Its my first Wing ever. Sorry, I didn't make that move sooner. Its a bike to go to the moon and back. Perfect? NOPE, but very close to it. 25K, so far and ZERO, I mean not even one problem. Simple to work on, parts are cheap and available all over.
no real biking experience for me. had a versus 1000 se for a few thousand miles, was sooo happy when I switched to a z900 rs and was riding a real bike again
