I'm off to the local BM open day in early Feb ... might just book a test ride on the K16 .. just to have a feel .. you know what I mean .. 

Yep, I know exactly what you mean

But has he seen the list?

I rather doubt it.  It hasn't been published yet...but soon.  Remember the Great Idea?  You know, if we play our cards right, this might turn out to have a life of it's own.

"The List"

Dam.......have I got it wrong again?

Does retirement come with every K16 ? 

Mine did - the Inland Revenue even gave me a bonus to buy it!

I test rode an R1200RT a few years back and it wax a great bike and surprisingly quick, but the boxer motor is bland. Test rode a k1300GT a few months later and awesome power but buzzy as . Haven't ridden the 1600 but would be very surprised if it offered what I need from a motorcycle, especially at that price.
I still prefer riding my old GTR1000 but then it does have the worlds most comfy saddle and feels like a motorcycle should.
I love my 1400GTR too as the power, braking and handling are awesome, but the 27 year old 185k mile would be the bike I'd keep if I could only have one.
Perhaps I'll bring 'Otto' to Littledean in June 

As for "The List", wasn't it the K1300 and R1200GS that were destroying their final drives?

I'm sure it was.  Doesn't mean it can't happen again.
