I’ve owned an Indian Challenger, recently rode a 2022 HD Road Glide Special and there is no comparison to the BMW K1600b. I’ve owned this BMW for 4 months and clocked 9,500 miles. Let me repeat myself, THERE IS NO COMPARISON PERIOD. 11.09 quarter mile and there isn’t an HD that does that! Everything beats the HD except the looks. Price? Mine listed for $28,000 and I paid $22,500 for a demo model with 108 miles on it. ITS THE BADDEST BAGGER ON THE PLANET! Unless you have $15k to spend on motor work with another brand!

Use the quick shift. You're not going to hurt it. I've got 20,000 miles on mine and I've used the clutch like once. Haha.

Had a K1600GA. I liked the handle bars because easy to add farkles (GPS, phone mounts, radar detector, etc).

ok, so my current stable is a Road King twin cam (traded my Road Glide for it), a BMW K1600 GTL and a Honda Goldwing Tour DCT. I think for touring, you might like the GTL better, It is stable at highway speeds (the GA is apparently not from what I hear), does not have a speed limiter, and the performance and handling in the twisties puts a grin on my face every time - just a great bike. Love the Harley's rumble and riding feel, but for LD touring, the beemer takes it by a mile.

2 sides of the same coin. In some ways it is- lower CG makes it handle better, better tech, love the DCT! Happy with both, but eventually I’ll sell the Beemer because wife likes the passenger setup on the GW better. Test ride one for another video!

I had a ‘22 Grand America. I traded in a ‘16 HD Street Glide for it. After about 4 months and 4,000 miles I regretted it and went back to HD, bought a ‘23 Ultra. The BMW was too unstable on the highway for me, plus had an oil leak plus consumed oil somehow. I tried various windshields and another set of tires, but after the oil leak and consumption I had enough.

That sucks. Why sell a bike that they can't make stable at high speeds.

I hear this a lot and it bothers me. I have a GTL and no HD experience on the highway. Having no previous experience to compare to, I don't feel my bike is unstable. Can you describe what you mean my unstable? I also hear the bagger grand america is really unstable on the highway and I just don't want to believe it.

I have never "needed" my GTL to exceed 100mph. I'm ok with the speed limitation. Also agree about the looks of the handlebars but having had the other nicer looking bars on my GTL and not having adjustability makes me ok with the bars on the bagger. I think. Haven't ridden one yet.

Have to for safety, downside of trying to make it a bagger, reviewers have discussed severe stability issues at lower hwy speeds. Get the GT or GTL, no issues, cruise at high speed all day

You cant compare a bmw to a Harley-Davidson, HD are expensive pieces of crap .
