Title: I got to test sit on the K1600GTL today.
Post by: frankenduck on May 14, 2011, 07:14:53 PM

Was picking up a part at Ride West and they just got theirs yesterday/today.  No demo rides until next week but I did get to sit on it and rev it a bit.  Yummy..... 8)

I got to demo one a couple of weeks ago. Very impressive.

Caught a brief glimpse of both models at South Sound BMW yesterday - inbetween the "guest rides" they were offering.
I'll have to go back to "drool another day"...... :(

Couldn't get too close but I did notice the MASSIVE mufflers on both  :o, I wonder how much those puppies weigh ??

I'm liking the seat height. http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/bmw_k_1600_gtl_2011.php (http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/bmw_k_1600_gtl_2011.php)

Regrettably the damn things aren't going to be in this part of Oz until round the end of June according to the local BMW shop. But I picked up brochures today, and got prices; GT -> $37697 and GTL -> $39777. Didn't ask but I'll bet they aren't on road costs, so for the GTL we can add registration and compulsory third party insurance $496, stamp duty on the purchase price of $1532 and $21 for the number plate. Grand total of $41826. I'm gonna have to do some real fast talking if I want to try and get that past the Board of Control :-)
