BMW K1600GTL for a day - compare it to a R1200RT

Today my 2018 BMW R1200RT is getting a 60.000km service. This involves replacing the drive shaft, since last year BMW decided to replace the drive shaft for boxer engines every 60.000km... that's a free swap for existing boxer owners.
Because this takes time, I cannot wait at the dealer, so I get a replacement bike. They reserved a GS, but since I owned a GS before the RT, I asked if the GT was available.
Did I like it?

Never rode a 6 cylinder bike. I must admit on wind up the engine sounded like an F16 fighter jet! Seriously cool. 👍🏻

[@FlatTwinTherapy]

Agreed. That sounded great AND was fun. But in NL... Our speed limit is 100... We might get 130 on some spots, if the government allows.. I feel this bike is only fun of you live in Germany... Oh. Wait ;)
But even then. The Bike feels less agile. My RT felt a meter shorter and small, when I rode back home. Imagine that

@@FlatTwinTherapy you should get it over 6k RPM, the power curve hits around there

[@FlatTwinTherapy]

I can imagine you will get a kick in the back :) would be awesome.

Have been considering the RT1200 for next bike.

What's your current bike?
I've had a VF750F, 28 years ago. A ZZR600 23 years ago, a R1150R 20 years ago and a R1200GS 2y ago. Always liked a full fairing touring bike. Impressed with its capabilities
