BMW Motorcycles 2012 K1600GTL - The future of motorcycle touring.

[20031200]

While the bike looks pretty interesting. I wouldn't care to have my passenger sitting higher than me. Actually it looks pretty wierd riding two up. Electronics seem pretty high tech. I like the spin dial on the left grip. Previous bike to my Current Goldwing was a BMW. Biggest drawback was lack of Dealer availability which very much contributed why I traded it in on a Goldwing.

This engine is a copy of the GT 750 X 2 . In 2012 Suzuki will make a sport tourer with a 6 cyl 2-stroke. It will produce a massive 300 bhp at idle. Truckers, beware !

@seapeddler what, two strokes are outdated...... the are just not capable of continous touring -.-

[seapeddler]

@rsjon93  At a certain molecular scale, perhaps '2-cycle' performs a metabolic function. When we inhale, I guess that is not a 2-stroke process. Anyway, I think you guessed my comment about the GT750 was a joke.

@seapeddler ooooh, now im cooled, you see i know some people who really think such things ;P

@rsjon93 Darmok and Jelad at Tenagra arms open.

You know, this machine is a testament to engineers. It has everything that riders could want; except simplicity. I wouldn't dare buy this machine because I'd be terrified of dropping it or replacing gizmos when it gets older. I got 150,000 trouble free klms out of my 1100 Honda shadow, and that's what's most important (to me). Am a fan of the Triumph rocket 3 for cruising/ touring. Simpler engineering and 40 more horses than this BMW. Cheaper and weighs less than a Harley Electraglide. Sold.
