I'm currently driving a BMW 1250 ADV. I'm thinking of buying a 1600 GTL. I am afraid of having problems in heavy traffic in the city due to its weight. Would you recommend it if you take into account your slow driving experiences?
Hello. I also have a 1250 GSA, they feel very different, the GSA is more nimble but taller, the k1600 is lower but heavier, you feel it especially in stand stop manouvers, just have to be more careful than in the GSA but you can drive perfectly in traffic. Have to be careful with the gap, on the GSA we have the boxer engine as a gap meter between cars, in the k1600 you don’t, the side cases go quite outside the fairings, have to be more careful passing between cars
@@joaoleal5736 Are the side bags of the K 1600 GTL removable? If so, I can use it without a side bag on my city rides. I think it will be no different from the 1250 ADV without the side bags. But the weight thing is still troublesome. I think a slight loss of balance during stopping can tilt me sideways.
@@halilbarssengul8123 the side cases are removable, it will make your life easier in traffic jam. The weight is heavier that the gsa but lower at the same time, just make shure that you don’t stop with the steering turned
