Just saw a black K1600B at the Rock Store in Malibu on Sunday. First one I have seen out in the wild.

Yes it is. The K1600B, I think is better than the " New Honda", but the saving of buying the F6B, make my F6B a better buy that ether one. Money to personalize my ride.
YIKES, 160HP and a top speed limiter of 101MPH ??? First we have nanny states, now we have German nanny motorcycle companies ?
According to 1 article, the 101 limiter is on the American version of the "Grand America" version, not the K1600B.
"...
BMW has speed-limited the bike to just 101 mph because of what it calls “the principle of the American Way of Riding.” It would be far less insulting for the company to simply acknowledge that a topbox can impact wheel load distribution and thereby have a negative effect on riding dynamics, stability, and safety, and leave it at that.
..."
BMW knows the USA has no Autobahn.

That black one is so sweet.
2013 F6B in black of course
You don't need a 160 ponys if it is going to fall on its face at 101 mph. Your going to get passed. It's no longer a Bagger once you add a tale trunk.
