That black ‘bag’ that you took from the inside of the tank bag is the waterproof cover. The trouble with these things is that they take up far too much space inside a small day bag, but the tank bag will only be shower resistant so needs a cover when it rains.

No it’s not. It’s canvas type material. My Givi bag has the weatherproof cover. This one has a waterproof dry bag inside which allows the bag outer to get damp. Bothe the bags that came with this are canvas. One branded Wunderlich the other unbranded and a slightly stiffer canvas 👍🏻

A most interesting review. I frequently use the A34 to reach the south coast from south Warwickshire and was actively considering buying a K1600 to use for this journey in place of my do-it-all Honda NC750X. However, your comment regarding spending more time in traffic because the K1600 is too wide to filter was a deal-breaker for me as the A34 is notorious for huge traffic jams. A real shame too as I do like the K1600.

A have a bigger screen but have never used it so tough to know. I find the factory one fine on long motorway days and when ‘pushing on’ on smaller roads like to lower it to half way as I find it distracting when looking for best route into corners. I’ve not used other tyres as the Roadtec 03s I have are fine for me and they’re a special ‘HWM’ variant for the weight of the K1600 with additional wall ply. I changed them for a 6,500mile ride at 4,500miles and they lasted another 1,500 mile trip so I’d say 8,000 miles. Still love the smoothness of the engine and reverse for sure 👍🏻

Just had to give my thoughts… originally connected with your KZbin after purchasing my 2019 GSA. It was a great bike but, I felt it might be time to get a more traditional tourer, as that’s where the vast majority of my riding was… on the road. Again, learning from your similarly timed purchase of the K1600, I bought mine in 2023. It’s been almost 2 years of riding this wonderful bike but, I’ve realized my heart remains with the GSA… it doesn’t even matter if I never take it off-road. For me it’s the “tourer” I love. I’ve ridden the new 1300 GS, but I don’t think the new Adventure is going to be my bike, even with the front and back radar. It’s the 1250 GSA I like the ride and handling of. The debate now is if I get a new 2024 Adventure while they’re still available or, try to find a comp for my former fully kitted out 2019 GSA TripleBlack… keeping the dream alive… Alaska to Patagonia… I may never make the full 30,000 km but, I’m not yet ready to give up the dream. I’ll check back on occasion to see where your future interests take you.

I’ll always have a love for my 1250GSA and I’m waiting to see the 1300GSA properly before I make my mind up. First impression was awful but it’s already grown on me particularly if you BMW accessorise it as it is obviously meant to be. I’m also awaiting the 1300RT. On my 10,000km trip last year in the K16 my mate had a 1250RT. It’s lighter, does better fuel consumption, used no oil, so apart from the smooth engine in the K16 it’s certainly a very capable bike. Lastly, do your dreams. Life is very short 👍🏻

Hi Nick not seen a video for a bit so i hope you are ok. Quick question about your K1600. I have just bought a very low mileage 2022 option 719 which i love to bits. However it tends to 'drink' oil to the tune of 300 mm per 500 miles. I did a test for BMW who said this was within tolerence. Have you had any such issues with your K1600. Best wishes Peter
@nickhodgeUK
@nickhodgeUK 6 ай бұрын
Hi Peter. I’m all good thanks. Yep the tolerance for the consumption on the K16 is very high. It seems to be a bit better with continuous use. For example on my 10,000km (6,500 mile) trip to the top of Norway last year, I topped up with a litre total. My mates R1250RT used none. However after a shortish (1,000 mile) trip around France and a few short rides (maybe 5/750 miles in total), it needed 500ml too. It was also newer then. It also has a weird way of checking it too so beware that as last time in topping up I overfilled as it was not as low as I thought. It is in the manual how to do it. Good luck 👍🏻

It’s the standard handlebar mount with an extension arm and vibration damper. I think the thing you need to know is there is also a stub extension from eBay that bolts in the end of the handlebar. These normally come in a pair and can be searched as BMW RT1200/1250 Handlebar mount or similar (same for the K16). I don’t use it much as the phone goes in the cubby and charges/runs the TFT mapping but I have a second phone on tour for when we take pictures as often these are just quick stops. Also sometimes we just need to get urgent fuel so plumb that into Google maps and mount phone there 👍🏻

Probably halve the size of your pump. It can also serve as USB charger. It works beautifully, especially for motorcycle tires. Best of all worlds. Plus?

If you haven’t already tried it, give it a go.
