I wanted to see what all the hype was about re the K16, it's a superb machine don't get me wrong but it's so well equipped and the handling is so refined you might as well be driving a car.
It's a very easy bike to ride despite reports in the early days of riders frequently dropping them after being caught out by its weight.

"Might as well be driving a car" says it all for me.
The GTR is a motorcycle. It rewards your input and you feel part of the process.
Plenty of other good bikes out there.
At least you have a choice, me I have to buy whatever fits me.  :rolleyes:

:agree:
Agree with both the above, think I described it previously as "Clinical"when I test rode, good bit of engineering, but I found it soulless to ride.
GS1200, always been a fave, yet to ride an LC, I daren't in case temptation kicks in again!   :no:
GTR for serious and scratching, F700GS for commuting and everyday riding is working well, consider meself fortunate!   :biker3:
As said before, good fun hunting the next steed!
Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.

Me brother had the 250 Trophy, links up front and radical styling, I'd have one back in the garage!

Snowy .... "GTR for serious scratching" !!! ... you need to test ride a Gs mate   :yes: :yes: ... I honestly believe that the biking public who perhaps are afraid to try them out or simply don't like the look of them or are of the dislike BMW brigade have no idea how 1. Quick they are and 2. How forgiving they are. I loved my GTR but simply fancied a change .. you can't get much more different than those two bikes  :eek: :eek: but having said that I would like to try the K16 for a day and see what its all about  :yes:
