I am a Harley guy but i have to admit that is a awesome bike. 20k cheaper then a new CVO 160hp stock, better suspension, lighting electronics ect.... When you compare what you get from BMW vs a Harley it's actually pretty embarrassing what Harley charges for their bikes.

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on the new bike but I still have my Harley. I just love this BMW didn’t think I would when I first rode one. But as soon as I got on it, it changed my mind. All I could say is go out and try some other motorcycles. There’s some very good stuff out there check it out! Also, thanks to John for putting this day on video for me and my family to enjoy for years to come! The biker community is an outstanding community you guys all rock!

I have a 23 grand america...I love the styling but there are some issues I'm wondering if anyone else has...first is the instability on the highway. When I'm behind cars or semitrucks, the front end wanders really bad and I find myself fighting to keep a straight line. Secondly is that the stock tires are so noisy...they roar really bad between 50 and 60 mph...after owning this bike I can honestly say it is not the ultimate touring machine. It's not a true bagger but rather a sport bike with storage. I'm really debating going back to a harley...

What it sounds like, because it’s what it is, is a reduced size and tweaked E46 M3 inline 6 BMW car engine. BMW’s inline 6 is probably the most famous 6 in auto history, but if you hate the way the M performance versions of that engine sounded, or prefer NASCAR’s sound to F1’s, you’ll hate this bike. If you don’t love the sound of an air-cooled V-twin, you might like it.

Very interesting! I would never own a K again. I had 2 of them. Last one was new, 18 GA. Once they collect miles, they can and will cause issues. They can be strange mechanically. I spent more time at the dealer then riding and NO, it wasn't a Lemon. Also, the wobble issues in DIRTY AIR effect was NOT GOOD. The handlebar steers slightly to the left was another issues for me. BMW limiting the speeds on them, I see why now. Do not shut her down while you are in REV mode. It could be a problem disengaging to N. Hard bike to work on. Parts and labor are HWY rubbery. Dealers are fading away. BMW car dealers should start working on them too, in the USA. If you want to work on it by yourself, you need to invest in a code reader unit. If you are 6' tall or above, trust me, you can't get comfortable on a long ride. I hope you will enjoy this machine. Its fun and strong, as long as she is not causing problems.
