I saw an article on line about this on line and it peeked my interest. I checked out the BMW forum and asked some questions about reliablity of the K bikes. OMG I am staying with my ST.
Looks like you won't be getting one of those.If the K1600 GT comes in at less that $16,113,,, and Red,,, with optional Lasers it will be mine...
Ok,,, it doesn't have to be Red then...Looks like you won't be getting one of those.
I'm pretty sure it won't have lasers since no one is as creative as you are Terry. Red may happen, but at $16,113 as the top figure, I'm thinking you best settle for one out of three here . Maybe you could have them throw in a spare shaft drive to sweeten the deal. .If the K1600 GT comes in at less that $16,113,,, and Red,,, with optional Lasers it will be mine...
I bet,,, a 2 year old bike with 11,000 miles on it,,, I can buy for that price...Terry,
Hold off about 5 or 6 years and you should be able to get a used one for that price.
While I agree with you on BMW's unreliability, I think the warranty on the RT is 36 months.BMW had to do something to compete with the Gold Wing. The LT wasn't the answer. So they upped the ante with a six - not quite as big as the Wing but with plenty of poke, I suspect. The price may well leave me gasping for breath but the Wings aren't cheap either.
I've been flirting with getting a new 1200RT but a couple of continuing mechanical issues that BMW won't address, and their cheezy 1-year warranty, have kept me away. Wonder if they will extend the warranty on their new luxo-tourer.
