BMW K1600

I'm thinking of buying. Do any of you lot have one? Or any friends?
What do you think of them against the Goldwing or an RT?
I'm vertically challenged and after sitting on a GTL it's the first bike since my old Honda VT500 that I've been able to get both feet flat on the floor.

My mate’s got one and he loves it. Super smooth, fast, comfy and a great mile muncher.
He’s always had big sports tourer types, like the ZZR1400 (his last bike) and wanted to calm down a bit before he lost his licence or killed himself.
Unfortunately, it’s not really done the trick. He recently got pulled by an off duty Assistant Chief Constable for undertaking him on the M61 at 130mph.  :rollin Lucky bastard didn’t lose his licence either, just got a bollocking and an ASBO for 12 months.  :lol

Nice one Freck. I recently did the NC2000 (My version) and tried staying with a Russian on one and It was great fun. I'm just glad he took a different route after 15 miles as he didn't have a licence to lose
