Clymer Manuals 2012 BMW K1600GTL at 20th HoAME Vintage Motorcycle Rally 2011 K1600 GTL GT




Engle Motors of Kansas City, Missouri was a sponsor of the 20th Heart of America Motorcycle Enthusiasts (HoAME) Vintage Classic Antique motorcycle rally show at the Downtown Airport. They brought along a 2012 K1600GTL K1600 GTL for attendees to drool over. Clymer Girl, more drooling, talked to a salesperson about the touring motorcycle but unfortunately didn't get to go a first ride or test the bad boy out for full blown motorcycle review. That suck!
