The problems with the K1600 are in the past. Don't believe half the krap about BMW problems. 5 years ago ok...now check them out. I rode the 1000XR for about an hour. Nice bike & stupid fast.Ah. What year do you have? I was intrigued by them, but they seemed to have as many issues as my Triumph did and I wasn't up for another first model year experience. I've heard that they've worked out most of the bugs now.
