The latest off a Dutch website – excuse the rough translation. BMW is BMW K 1600 GT K 1600 GTLJust get the mail within that BMW July 2 - tomorrow - officially at 12.00 K and K 1600 GT 1600 GTL launches.So the spy photos over the Internet last week roamed, were true. Whether it was a cylinder, we can now confirm. The first six-cylinder BMW engine ever. Horex name is already a competitor!With the mail we received the official press info and photos. But unfortunately, we can because of the embargo until July 2 at 12.00 anything with it. More tomorrow! Hmm, somehow I don't think I will hold my breath

It's a step too far for me. Too big for NZ roads, just like all the other mega cruisers. Besides, it's ugly.

I don't understand BMW manufacturing bigger more expensive bikes. Should they not be spending the extra cash they have on better support for there dealers and the bikes they have?

New artists impression and spy pic (next post). Looks like more of a K1300GT upgrade than an LT replacement

Thats a bit off, have you tried Hamilton or Mount Motorcycles ?

Haven't tried for trade in but use Hamilton for servicing – good customer care and price.

Looks like you would need to be small to fit into the pillion area allowed 🙄 us over wait middle aged well healed, brought and paid for body would not fit. 😀The bike looks ok with the pillion but without the pillion it looks like a mistake add on.The 2011 updated RT is a nice looking bike with a little more power. http://www.bmw-motorrad.com/com/en/index.html
