Looking at the K1600 as probably next year will be due a change as I should have done 20k on the GTR by then.
Can you confirm are there any specific differences between the GT and the GTL Executive. Visually the GTL has the back box with passenger armrests as not too keen on that myself, (so that would come off and be stored in the garage) but from what I can tell the GTL has lots of extras above the GT. Can you confirm as I am sure you did lots of research when you were looking at buying one.

Winston is probably a better person than I to expand on this however my K1600 came with virtually every accessory available apart from a top box and spot lights, both of which I can live without. I was pretty lucky finding my K16 with all it's accessories and at the price it was. I did some research but not a lot to be honest, I knew what I wanted, I found it pretty quickly so snapped it up.

The GTL as I understand it is a different riding position, more Goldwing possibly, the GT is a sporty machine and is so easy to ride it's unbelievable.

I suggest you look at Motorrads website for the full differences.
Basic difference between GT/GTL is the riding position.
GTL has lower footrests, lower one piece (opposed to 2 piece) saddle, longer handle bars to bring them closer to you.
Additionally it has a top box and different screen.  GTL has chrome detailing on fairing, panniers, air winglets, screen covers and bar ends.
All other 'toys' are available on both models, with cruise control, heated grips and seats being common to both.
GT and GTL, albeit sharing same chassis, engine, gearbox etc. ride completely differently due to seating position.
If you like sporty, go for GT (no top box anyway!) with the radio/sat-nav option.
The GTL Exclusive is very similar to the GTL, but comes in a pearl white colour with a beige saddle and plastics.
Also has keyless technology and a few other bits and pieces.

It would be a sad place indeed, Charlie, if you weren't here.

Charlie & I did a reasonable 400 mile excursion yesterday around The Cotswolds. Photos were taken and this is one, it's only a quick sample but it just shows the bikes off reasonably well.
