Here is some info regarding the K1600 in Canada. Got this from a dealer friend.
Yep - we get both bikes......Won't know pricing until December business
meeting. I was told the 1600 GT would replace the 1300 GT, but we have the
1300 still on the order pad? So I don't know exactly what's going on. I
know that BMW has "several" 2010 - 1300's still in stock, so I expect I'll
have the arm put on me to take one of the non-currents, as well as the
2011's.
If I had to guess, the GT/L will be aimed squarely (price-wise) at the Wing,
and the GT probably 10-15% less. So likely that's mean $30-ish for the L
and 26-27 -ish for the GT. The comparable 1300 GT would have been in the
25-26 range, so we'll see how smart I am.
Bad news-good news for us with the new GTL is that Honda isn't importing any
2011 Wings, so we'll have the market to ourselves, but the bad side is they
have enough 09's and 10's in the warehouse to carry the year ( at
significant discounts I'm sure).
