Ghost60 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Bags are too small on the K16 bagger. Other than that it looks like the F6B. Link to comment

tallman Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 The 1600 B will do exactly what they want it to do. Conquest sales from HD, American, and metric cruisers. The 1200 C was a "better" bike than most others of the era, HP, braking, etc. All BMW needs is to sell enough of these to make them "scene" and I'll bet a lot of people who have looked at upscale HD and others (not a base 883) will choose this bike. They seem to have done more research and development than back when the assaulted us w/the 650 fiascos, (X, Cross County etc) not the 650 GS/Dakar. The myopia we have wrt BMW sales should be changing. We aren't the #1 market. Link to comment
Bud Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) I will agree with Tim's assessment. But it is still ugly. Conquest sales will be important for BMW to increase their sales in the US. Which will benefit all Beemer owners with an expanded dealer network. OTOH, how many potential HD buyers are buying this: Edited January 9, 2017 by Bud Link to comment

fourteenfour Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I am interested in the G310R to go alongside my primary bike, that K1600B or whatnot looks like another Judge Dredd bike given life. Link to comment
