I can't wait to ride the new BMW K1600GT!

Have you seen details of this new bike yet? A BMW 6 cylinder engine in a bike - does it get any better than that? We'd love to know what you think about this bike and/or all things BMW bike related - we're also more than happy to try to answer any more technical questions you may have.

  

An expert will answer this question soon. Please feel free to add your own thoughts below

Erm no i have not Ocean but considering looking at your profile it says your a bmw showroom im not sure its a question your asking but more advertising your products. That aint cool bmw! the community section is for people to ask questions about their biking needs. you have your own section to put your bike up in the "motorcycles and scooters" section. I hope the get on community will also agree with this.

Hi everyone :)

I'm interested to know what the community thinks about this, but my personal feeling is that it's ok for a dealer to ask opinions about a bike, as long as they are clear about who they are (and this seems to be the case).

After all we're discussing bikes, and it's inevitable to bring up names and brands. The good thing about having dealers on the community is that they can answer more specific, technical questions.

That said... Ocean, it would be great if you could post a complete review of the K1600GT when you try it, and interact with other members also on non-bmw stuff :)

Hi Cecilia

Thanks for your comments, we are genuinely interested to find out what people think about this bike or indeed any new BMW!

Its also worth pointing out that 'we' (13 members of staff) are all bikers here, so we are keen to get involved in the biking community in whatever way we can, whether thats the 'Get On' campaign, a model specific forum like UKGSER.com, bikes shows and meetings.

We're away to spain in Feb to ride the K1600 and will post our thoughts when we get back!

Don't worry - I'm a closet Vespa fan so will be keeping an eye on all things cool!

Speak soon

PS: Looking forward to hearing Miles speak at the BMW conference in December.

Hi, Interested to find out what your (BMW) views are on luggage options for the K1600 GT. I don't want a GTL because it's configured differently but I do want the ability to store a couple of helmets or other items on the GT and as far as I can see there is no topbox option.
