Icefields Parkway on the BMW K1600GTL May 2018

[@dhbrantley]

We are traveling the Icefields Parkway on our K1600 in September 2023 because we first saw this video. Thanks Andre!

[@andrewilkins9248]

Excellent! I hope that you will have an amazing time. You are most welcome to spend a day or two here in Drumheller if you want to take a detour 😬

[@dhbrantley]

@@andrewilkins9248 😀Thats so very kind ! We'll certainly keep it in mind.

[@RickLincoln]

Well, that is just stunning. It's a trip my wife and I would like to make on our RT once this pandemic is behind us. Thanks for sharing this...

[@andrewilkins9248]

Thanks Rick. Trust me, you will be amazed!!

A magnificent landscape that was beautifully captured in the picture! Thank you for taking me with you.

Hey Andre!!! This is awesome! Looks like you had a great time, and great job on the video! Man, what a beautiful place!

[@phoso29]

What beautiful views. My wife and I need to go there. Can't wait to take my Grand America through there

[@andrewilkins9248]

Thank you. You will absolutely love it.

[@dhbrantley]

Hi! I talked with you both today at Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. Love your video setup and am looking forward to the next video.

[@andrewilkins9248]

Hi Dan. Great meeting you. I said to my wife afterwards I should have taken a picture of us to make our meeting legit- send me a picture of you in the area (Logan Pass) and I’ll work it in!!!

[@uweseibert4869]

Hello Andre, it was a beautiful video with the K1600 GTL. I hope in the next year :)

[@andrewilkins9248]

Thank you Uwe

[@Im-a-machine]

What an AWESOME video with some good music. I could ask you so many questions about the bike because I'm really torn on what touring bike to get. But I'm leaning to the BMW. I only wish it came with a few more passenger amenities like heated handgrips, cubby holes for storage, and passenger controls like the Yamaha Transcontinental.

[@andrewilkins9248]

Hi William, thank you for the nice comment. Go for a test ride at a BMW dealer, I'm sure you'll go for the BMW.

[@lawnranger3432]

William,....heated grips and seats are standard on the K1600's along with power and handling that will leave the Yamaha forever in your rear view mirrors.

[@andrewilkins9248]

@@lawnranger3432 Absolutely !!

[@davidgreve1081]

The ride was superb! Your wife beautiful, and it looks like you're able to handle everything Canada throws your way! What a trip! What a Bike! You chose the best! Is your Bike brand new? Tell us your secrets for handling the chilly temperatures. Snow and ice everywhere in your videos.!!

[@andrewilkins9248]

Hi David, thank you for the positive comments. Yes, the bike is brand new with heated grips, seat, and we also have heated motorcycle jackets and pants, quite toasty if it gets to chilly. :)

[@scottkuntz4572]

Awesome video Andre

Beautiful nature.

[@mikebiernacki8533]

Nice ! Well done video.

[@ericdumont1246]

Nice video and bike,have the same from februari

[@Enonymouse_]

That k16 spanks corners and motorists, kind of fitting you should call it Khaleesi. :D

[@sullysonni5332]

merci pour la visite, il faudrait remplacer la musique par le bruit du 6 cylindres 😉

[@andrewilkins9248]

Oui, le son du moteur est magnfique !! 👌🏻

[@sagarthapa3765]

Beautiful!

[@northerniltree]

The Great White North is the beauty way to go, eh?

[@billbanche4605]

WOW!! very nice!! thank you. :)

잘 보고 갑니다 영상 보면서 저도 즐거웠어요

[@akepettersson4847]

Hi there 👋👋 I’m nearly in the same position as you when it comes to trade in my GSA for a GTL. Even though my wife doesn’t ride with me , I like the comfort and the sweet sound of the 6 cylinder. How about your wife , does she like the pillion seat better ?

[@andrewilkins9248]

Åke Pettersson Hi Åke, yes - then you will love the GTL 😬

[@gillesabsalon478]

Superbe voyage 👍bonjour d' un Vosgien

[@andressoliven3225]

Beautiful country,but why canada kept sending garbage to phils.

[@andrewilkins9248]

Yes it is, thank you, Andres. I wish I knew what politicians and billion dollar companies were up to?

[@roadglide]

Add a TFT display screen and this K1600 bike blows away the new 2018 GoldWing.

[@Enonymouse_]

Actually from a usability standpoint the only thing the new 2018/2019 GW offers that is competitive VS a recent model k16 is the DCT. If BMW ever came out with a transmission like this, it is likely that nothing would be comparable.

[@tonywhitby6881]

Not keen on the camera seemingly being on the pannier or strangely behind the mirror …….needs to be head mounted surely ? …….. the vids I enjoy watching make me think I’m on the bike …. This doesn’t … thanks for posting anyway

[@abazdarhon]

All BMW K1600 have serious issue - They all pull to the left! My one pull so hard that if I barely touch handlebar in split second I am on left lane. ( after hour ride my shoulder is in agony from constant pull handlebar to correct it and BMW don’t seem see the problem like I will not pay £ 24000) And after owning this bike for 3 months from brand new and having already swap engine for new one I can truly said it’s crappy bike. Go do yourself favor and bike Japanese bike

[@lawnranger3432]

The main issue the K1600's had was the water pump and handle bar switches and that has been corrected. I have 52,000 miles on my GTL and it does not pull to the left. Three months ago I test rode a 2018 GA and no left pull. A few have complained about the left pull but most have not. In 50 years of riding and owning 30 plus new motorcycles, the K1600 is up need the top of my favorite bikes.

[@pvtaitchison]

Not all k1600!!! No issues at all with my 2017 GT

[@davidgreve1081]

It sounds to me he must have wrecked it and his shade tree mechanic didn't fix his fork tree. Its probably bent just enough to cause that.

[@zunaidkajee4540]

@@davidgreve1081 he's a troll. He post the exact same message on every k16 board, videos, comments.

[@davidgreve1081]

@@zunaidkajee4540 , Why this clown has a hardon for the GTL is beyond me. Trolls get paid back in sorry negative living situations, which I assure you he's already experiencing. No one can badmouth a solid Company like BMW (both Car and Motorcycle division) and not suffer for it in one way or another. I've been acquainted with BMW since 1967 when I rode a BMW R/51/3 to school on a daily basis. I was 16 at the time. I'm now 68. The love for the brand never went away. There's nothing wrong with a Japanese Bike regardless of the brand, but BMW stands out in ANY crowd. Have you Gorton acquainted with the R/18 they're coming back out with? I told BMW that if they would put a Stylish R/51 fender complete with a mudflap at the bottom, and a top plate that says 2019 on it , do the same to the rear by adding a full fender to it, add a 2-up seat, a hand damper, and a large capacity fuel tank on it, that I would buy it in a NY Hurry. My old bike looked very much like that one does! Brings back great memories!
