I saw all the news articles yesterday about the new 2017 K1600B. I can't decide if I like it or not. I'm pretty sure I don't, but there are a few attractive features. Thoughts?
From CycleNews dot com:
An overview of highlights of the new BMW K 1600 B:
•6-cylinder in-line engine according to EU4 regulations with an output of 118 kW (160 hp) at 7750 rpm and a maximum torque of 129lb-ft at 5250 rpm.
•Bagger design with eye-catching stretched streamline-style silhouette and low rear section.
•Low rear frame for reduced vehicle height, dropped passenger seat height (-2.7in) and typical bagger look.
•Fixed side cases with a new compartment design, rear central cover and integrated light units in US-American styling.
•Chrome-plated parallel silencers with ribbed end caps.
•Folding rear mudguard for easy wheel removal.
•Effective wind and weather protection with wind deflectors stretched further back.
•Typical short bagger-style electrically adjustable windscreen.
•Electronic suspension Dynamic ESA with automatic damping adaptation and “Road” and “Cruise” damping modes as standard.
•Reverse assist for even simpler maneuverability as an optional equipment item ex works.
•Shift Assistant Pro for shifting up and down without clutch as an ex-works option.
