Guest27/01/2013 at 5:26 amPost count: 2134I'm curious to know the running costs of the K1600GT that fills up with diesel in South Auckland. Not having kept up with BMW's technical advances since I returned to the Rising Sun from the Dark Side, I didn't realise the six cylinder line-up included an oil burner. 😮
I'd say if they filled up with Diesel, their running costs have shot up considerably.

Depends if they turned the key aye... BMW is good, but not THAT good.I've had 4.6-4.8L/100km on the GSA, with luggage, and it has the aerodynamic shape of a brick wall. Pretty impressive.

Surely you mean; “I'm curious to know the repair costs of the K1600GT that fills up with diesel…”You had me running to Google and, there is no diesel engine.

I think your keystrokes missed, and you meant to type "I'm jealous"
A couple of years ago I stopped and asked if I could be of any assistance to a guy pushing a Yamaha up the Kaimais, a few kms from Tauriko. He didn't need my help, but he did tell me he had inadvertently filled it up with diesel. Pushing it home would presumably give quite good fuel economy.
