I have rode Harleys for close to 30 years....I was HARD CORE Harley-Davidson to the bone. I have owned MANY of them...My last FLHT almost sent me to the poor house in maintenance, so after doing my research & homework on BMW....I made the switch. I bought a new R1200RTP....and never looked back. If someone told me I had to switch back to HD, I swear I would start crying! LOL!!! I am SOLD, SOLD, SOLD on BMW. They are INCREDIBLE machines! There is nothing out there like them! As a matter of fact, a year later, I just bought my 2nd BMW! Absolutely LOVE them! They are EVERYTHING Harley is not....LIGHT, NIMBLE and F-A-S-T!!! (....and they don't beat you to death).
Never again Harley-Davidson....
Do yourself a favor and just go take a BMW for a test ride....but I have to caution you....YOU BEST BRING YOUR CHECKBOOK!!! You WILL need it because you WILL be riding one home!
Love your enthusiasm Rodney - we're really passionate about these bikes and share your excitement. Thanks for watching and ride safe out there!
Thank you! Just spreading the word to those Harley riders out there and telling the truth!
... and then the fairy tale is over, good night children...
@Rodney Chersky: the interesting thing is, with all the heartache and expense many Harley riders experience through ownership, BMW has a poorer reliability record than Harley. Money spent on repairs is also more expensive on BMWs than Harley. I rode Harleys years ago and learned my lesson. I ride Metrics now, and a riding buddy has an R1200 that is very nice. He's never had a problem with it. Another friend drives BMW autos and has a Beemer bike as well, but he never rides it. I've never seen it, but a few other mutual friends have.
In a four year evaluation, the only major motorcycle brand that had more failures than BMW was CanAm. Many of the failures were "minor" where the cost of repair across all brands varied from about $200-500. BMW was in the high end. Suzuki, Indian and Victory didn't have enough participants to get good sample data. Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha were all at the top with Yamaha having the tiniest edge and rated the most reliable. Ducati didn't fair well and was close to BMW. Triumph was in the mid range.
CanAM bikes had about a 40% failure and pretty much 1 out of 3 Beemers.
My background included only two FLH Harleys, followed by Suzuki, Yamaha, and Kawasaki. I took about eight years off with no riding, and when I returned, I got the R1200rt and, just like Rodney, would never, ever think of any other cycle for me right now. You gotta get what is best for you in this cycle thing, and I got mine. And this K1600B seems to be light years ahead of anything in its class. For me. Buy whatever you like, but many, many riders are gonna choose this proven brand.
Owned Harley's for years. Test rode a BMW and now an owner bikes are hands down amazing and outdo Harley in every field
Why? What makes them better?
Selling My Street Glide in the spring
Hey Nathan, great review, and thanks for taking me back home to the Diablo Valley.
Been holed up here in Seattle for four years now and I sure miss the wide open spaces of the BayArea. Had many services at Diablo BMW back in the 90's. Getting ready to take command of an '18 K16GT as soon as the boat docks. Keep the rubber side down!
Wow - glad to hear from you. Most of our staff have been here for the last 15-25 years so I'm sure they'd remember you. Congrats on your upcoming K16GT! We'd love for you to stop by anytime you're in the area - don't be a stranger! Make sure to subscribe to the channel and check back with us - we plan on making a lot of local videos to make you miss it even more. Ride safe up there in all that rain : )
I couldn't wait for the B. Sold my 2015 Road Glide Special and picked a closeout 2016 GTL. Bike is off the chain!! I love these K bikes! Awesome review BTW!
Thanks! Congrats on your GTL - excellent choice. Ride safe out there!
This Cat Is one heck of a salesman.. Take my money!!! Great Review !!❤
Awesome Review! Definitely going into consider this one for my next purchase.
Thanks - ride safe!
Nice vid my friend. I might just get one over the new Harley
That exhaust sound!!!! So nice!!! Awesome video man.
Appreciate it - ride safe!
Love the Dixon Flannel. I have a few of them myself. Best flannel you can buy.
Great review brah, sweet looking bagger
Love my harley Lowrider S. Had the Street glide. Loved the utility with the bags, but felt like I was driving an SUV all the time. This bike is definitely worth a test drive! Please add some of the Roland Sands options!
That back end on the BMW is so different but so mean. This is my next bike!
For sure I will buy one in a couple of years.
Finally! Been waiting for a vid like this.
We've been waiting so long to do this video - thanks for watching & ride safe out there!
Love it. They had this bike on stage at Buffalo Chip smoking the tires. Had a Harley Street Glide and hated the weight and handling. Have a low rider S now. I'll keep the Harley, but this will be my ride to Sturgis next year. Badass!!!
If you were at Sturgis this year you might have seen my K1600B there.
Been riding Sportster, Nightster and Roadster, for a while now but was thinking about upgrading. Really would love one of these but nervous about the weight and seat height. I am only 5’3”.
I was thinking about buying a new Street glide but after watching I might have to give it a ride I'm a shorter man but I haven't had trouble on other bikes, haven't rode a BMW yet. GODBLESS!!
Hillbilly Grizzly make sure you ride a road glide too.
Black Dog why brother? is something wrong with it ? GODBLESS
I've ridden/owned pretty much everything at sometime in my life when 2 wheels are concerned. My favorite, long distance/touring machine is the K1600 G.T. with a bench seat and larger windscreen! I've added some mini floor boards and lights but other than that...It's the best bike I've ever ridden from everyday to interstate! I just keep my maintenance up to date and go everywhere! I've never had any issues of some "fast" bike blow past my ass! Just sayin...
Edysin Simon Amen - enjoy it & ride safe. Thanks for the comment.
GOOD REVIEW...I WILL BE LOOKING AT ONE
Appreciate it - hope you like the bike!
What gloves are those?
Nice video, guys. Maybe this will pull some Harley guys into the BMW performance world. That thing sounds amazing.
A many loyalists from HD would never consider another brand. Too bad. For a myopic view about life has serious limitations. This bike needs however, as great as it is, smaller, blackened pipes. A single seat factory option also.
You may be right. I can imagine a hardcore HD loyalist hoping on one of these for a test ride and realizing he/she could be spending less money on a way more fun bike. Who am I to judge that, though? I haven't even ridden a cruiser of any kind. I just know that raw hp and torque would hook me immediately.
Nice review.
Appreciate it - thanks for watching!
"You ever rid a stick of butter? You did today." HA! Favorite line
I'm spreading the word like I do butter. Lay it on thick...
I might just have a look, cheers from UK
Awesome - we hope you like what you see. Ride safe!
Just got mine today. 2018
The K-B is speed limited to 130mph, personally tested. Cruise at 110mph all day long.
Whoa... I want this.
Same!
Good god nice pull what the fuck that thing is incredible!!
Awesome video! Where was it filmed??
Thanks! Walnut Creek, California - right outside of San Francisco.
I have the GTL and really love it. I am looking forward to seeing this B in person. I'm surprised you haven't heard from Harley Davidson lawyers yet...they are very defensive of their bar and shield logo...
Can't wait for you to see the K1600B in person! The K1600B is really striking - I'm sure you'll love it. No comment on that last part : )
freedom of speech bother
"Ya ever ride a stick o' butter? Ya did today!" Love it!!! Hahaha
Looks good, Interesting
+GTLmike Thanks for watching!
Good review. 2 questions, the floor boards are right next to engine - the side of your shoe looks like it would be touching the engine casing, does it get hot? I've only ridden an RT but assume a B is more comfortable than RT and GT?
I rode a B today and I own a 2014 RT. B is much more comfortable to ride and my feet were fine on the boards. It was just over 80 F today, maybe if it was 90 or 100 they would be hot.
Black Dog Hahaha, I doubt many BMW owners ride with flip flops, I haven't seen it. I might buy a B, it's nice indeed!
8:00 - Moped rider decides the only spot to park for miles around is right next to the BMW during the walk around filming.
I want to ride one. I ride Harleys as well and I love their simplicity but after buying a 2017 F700GS I urge every rider to try a BMW. If you like to ride, you'll appreciate a BMW. They are beautiful machines and the B looks phenomenal. The BMW's price may look high at first but unlike Harleys, you don't have to change anything to get them to run or be comfortable. I will never stop riding Harleys and I will own another BMW.
Great perspective - thanks for sharing!
The K1600B base price is $19,995 fully loaded $24,885, less that a Harley FLH and to get a Harley that makes even close to the same power you are talking $40,000+. But without the handling, brakes or stability, let along the flexibility.
I sat on this bike at my local dealership and love the looks and rider position! I did however I have a HUGE PROBLEM with the clutch foot lever. I have big feet and ride in steel toed boots. I see no way I could ride this bike. My dealer said there is no adjustment of the foot controls? Do you know anything different?
+jay7066 Nothing comes to mind - I'd say changing your boot option and carrying the steel toed boots in the bags.
I couldn't hardly get my toe under the shift lever in tennis shoes. I feel BMW should make the controls larger and more rider friendly.
Awesome video thanks! Think I can hold it up ok at 5' 5"?
You'll fit fine at 5'7" - thanks for watching!
BMW Motorcycle Reviews So in other words he's screwed.
Sick Nasty!!!
Since you seem to be the only dealership in the country that has the ability to actually ride the bike can you make a video for current BMW owners? This one was obviously aimed at Harley riders. We don't need a "sell" on the power and handling. We know about that already. More on the differences between this one and the GTL/ GT (stability, feel, right position, electronics, upgrades, etc). Also, you should be wearing BMW gear!
These are all great suggestions - going to run it past everyone at the shop. Thanks for your feedback & ride safe!
Heard there is a limiter set at 100 mph, cause bike is unstable any higher ?
Pat Booth Not on the bagger - but that is true of the “Grand America” version.
Wait there are speakers? Can you even hear something while you're driving?
Absolutely - it also includes options like satellite radio and bluetooth pairing.
there is electronics in the windshield ?
Yes - electronic adjustment for varied heights.
Need a passenger backrest (hopefully removable) for the wife - deal breaker regarding trading in a Street Glide! Is there anything?
At the present moment there is no confirmed factory accessory backrest but we are anticipating one after launch. We've heard news that a seat company in Louisiana called "Bakup" is looking to develop one. Keep your eyes peeled for that backrest - this bike is worth it.
Ohhh you know Corbin and some of the others will be offering seats with backrests.
Just the standard gtl or whatever it's called, the full 1600 tourer
I think I bought the first Corbin sold for the K-B. over 10,000 miles on the seat now.
This really looks more like a Victory Vision only way faster.
My question is are you able to order these without gear assist, to shift manually? Even on the GLT?
TX Camper Gear assist gives you option of clutchless shifting but you can still manually shift the motorcycle. You’ll still always need to use the clutch when launching in 1st gear or coming to a stop. Thanks for watching!
BMW Motorcycle Reviews - Thank you for your fast reply. I’d prefer to shift manually like on any other bike but maybe that’s just me. What’s the difference between this and the GL? I just discovered this bike today and have literally binge watched 15 videos and counting. I plan to take the MSF class this spring and one day I may own of these. I’ve seen 3 BMW bikes around San Antonio in the last month. Have a great day.
TX Camper There are 5 versions at the moment: GT, GTL, GTL Exclusive, Bagger, and Bagger Grand America. There’s too many differences to list in the comments but you can check them all out on BMW’s website: www.bmwmotorcycles.com
BMW Motorcycle Reviews Ok thank you will do that. Like the Grand America and GLT the most so far.
Wow!
What's going to be the prize? I currently ride a 2013 Victory Cross Country and thinking on trading it for a R1200RT.
Can't go wrong with an RT!
I own a 2016 R1200RT This new bike is simply more comfortable and the sound is something you probably will become obsessed with .Traded in a 13 FJR sure miss the sound of that rocket ship .RT was definitely more comfortable Like everything in this world hold your breath and something better will always show up .
Dos Equis those 1200rt are nice bikes! The B has swayed me with the hp and sleeker look... but what you get for the price on an RT... makes it a very hard choice! Let us know what you get!
I bought a Street Glide last year, don't like it and probably going to get something else soon. Terrible wind protection, beats you to death on the highway, uncomfortable, hot as hell on a summer day, etc. I like these Beemers but what about maintenance costs?? That's what scares me from these a bit. Can you talk more about how the quick shift works? Can you ride it like that all the time and never use the clutch? Subscribed.
Thanks for your questions - I looked into it and it appears the first major service is at 18,000 miles. Cost of service is going to vary from shop to shop but the costs are comparable and even cheaper than other brands. As for the quickshifter - it works for both up and downshifts. You only need to use the clutch when coming to a stop or taking off in first. Thanks for watching!
jemo951 check out the indians. I have a roadmaster and put one of the flip up windshields on it. I have been in two downpours and I hardly got wet.
Black Dog yes it is,it goes up and down in the fairing
When do these hit the dealership? Nobody seems to know
Thanks for watching! There's no definitive release date that we're aware of but dealers should be finding out soon. Keep checking back - ride safe!
Thanks!
It will really do 180? I've ridden the 1600GT, my 1300GT is faster and a racier motor. Interesting bike, hope they sell a bunch.
Speed limited to 130mph, exact same motor as the K1600GT
I think it'll get more people on baggers but it won't win many Harley riders over. I'd take it for a rip but I freakin love my road glide.
Judging by the initial feedback at our dealership it looks to be the opposite. I can see a lot of Harley owners purchasing this motorcycle in addition to the Harley they already own. Only time will tell - ride safe!
It looks like a decent bike, BMW makes good machines, I just can't see myself trading in my road glide for it. The 160hp is really cool, Harley pretty much has to stick to that v twin, and with 2 cylinders your power potential is limited.
Do 180 MPH...I read BMW limits the bike to 125....Hope that's not true for a bike with 160 HP
True or false BMW MR ?
HD rider considering a r1200gs.. then I find this new model. grrr Getting a new bike soon, wish I knew which one.
I'm going through the same situation. These are both excellent motorcycles but the riding styles are going to be drastically different - the best way to find out is to go to your local dealer and ride them both! Thanks for watching & ride safe out there!
Dirt Beard I moved from hd to a 2016 BMW R 1200 R last year as it looks better than the gs adventure type bikes , really great all round bike with good power & comfort check one out first to see what you think yourself
looks like comfort on 2 wheels!
That's a great way to describe it!
The GT is the beast. This Bagger is the next big thing, now some different colors besides black. Everyone will have black Bagger. How about a silver, a white, or a blue? Come on BMW. Great review, I want one. Just not in BLACK.
Road Glide There’s another color for the Bagger Grand America - it’s definitely something other than black. The color is “Austin Yellow”
BMW Motorcycle Reviews
I like the color but it’s not a K1600 b bagger. It’s got a non-removable top box. It’s called the Grand America and has been speed limited to 100mph. Check out BMW spec sheet. Due to lift at speed. Why didn’t BMW consider this in their design. My guess, rush to market on adding a top box just to grab more Ultra Classic or Road Glide Ultra customers. Not happy about that.
Road Glide I’m aware as noted in other comments. While i would question your need to go above 100mph I certainly understand why this an irksome feature on paper. I can’t get inside of BMW’s mind but I can tell you that it’s slightly disappointing when you consider how well BMW usually engineers their motorcycles. Thanks for watching & ride safe.
Not much for hand protection? Cold weather will win that fight.
It is pretty “ bad ass” though.
Larry
Thanks for watching, Larry.
The mirror actually proved protection for your hands rode in 200 miles of rain and my hands did not get noticeably wet.
"Ya ever ridden a stick of butter?!"
lol
Only in bed
I was thinking what about the heat off that engine.
No problem at all, have 15,000 miles on mine now, including a trip through Sturgis, Billings, MT, Cody, WY, Pikes Peak, 95+ days even 200+ miles of rain at 70+mph, in rain mode, without getting even my feet wet.
The only thing that doesn't excite me about this machine is those damn side open bags. I despise them. My FJR has them and I hate them.
Hey Nathan, nice review, brother. Looks like a Road Glide?!? Ah, no dude. Not even close. The Concept 101 bike looks Waaaay better! I just wish the production K1600B machine looked more like the Concept 101 bike. It lost quite a bit in translation. I understand the need to save money and cut costs, but they went too far. This is bordering on being a dumbed down pretender. Shame that. I might go ride one anyway to see how she looks in person. I ride a '14 Victory Vision now, so this bike really has to wow me in order for me to give it up.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You should definitely go see it in person. Our first bagger was delivered to the dealership Saturday so they should be rolling into your local dealer as well. Thanks for watching and ride safe!
Thanks Nathan. I am on the list and waiting for a call. I really want to like this bike, man. Wish me luck!
Hey Black Dog! As it turns out the K1600B is out of my price range. I was hoping it would come in lower than the GT, and it does somewhat, but not enough for me to seriously consider one. Oh well, my loss. Not really though, nothing is going to be more comfortable nor more reliable than this Vic. So I kept the Vision and bought another bike that I am totally stoked about. So it all worked out. Maybe in a few years I can revisit this situation.
What makes Harley better is this: you can make your own. You customize it. There seems to be little room for customization. Shift assist? Come on man... Not gonna lie the bike looks sleek. But HD has nothing to worry about. Different markets. It is useless trying to compare the two platforms. HD is more than the bike itself- it is a true American icon however I digress. This Beemer is super nice, however unless it is cheaper (a lot cheaper) than a Road glide as shown in this video, I don't think you going to get waves of members from HOG jumping ship anytime soon.
+Tadashi Davis We're already customizing one at our shop - and more will follow. Thanks for watching.
Its way cheaper. Load them both up with options and take a look. and BMW has 3 yr warrantee compared to harley 2 years. That's a 50% increase
Harley Davidson has left the chat.
BMW---BRING MONEY WITH YOU. Too bad they have one of the worst reliability records in the industry. Good luck working on your inline 6 when it breaks.
If you ride HD for more nearly 30 years, you can not change to BMW: Rodney, yr post is the new form of advertisement...
giacotubo change is good sometimes! Hahha!
I'm 46 been riding Harley since I was 18 . 28 years we went to ride across California with a group of 12 people they ran out of Harley baggers at the dealer and put me on a bmw. Changed the way I look at motorcycle's I couldn't wait for this bike to come out. i think they got me
Been riding Harleys since 1968 starting with a 1952 chopped pan. Sportsters, FXR, soft tail FLH. I bought one of the first K600Bs sold in the U.S. there is no comparison, makes any Harley look like a Model T form with a fancy paint job and chrome. My K-B now has 15,000 miles was at Sturgis August 5-8, 130mph, will cruise at 110mph all day just flats burns Harleys to the ground.
I have never had a HD ,and i never will after seeing this review ,this motorcycle gives you... just speachless...everything you will ever need if you want to see the world on two wheels ,not only US
I want to ride a stick of butter!
Sounds more like a sales pitch than a review. What didn't you like about it?
Astute observation - we do in fact sell them so we're inclined to point out the positive features of the motorcycle. As far as what we don't like... the speakers could be better but we've seen customers put systems in already. It shouldn't stop anyone from experiencing this machine. Thanks for watching - ride safe.
You are right, the speakers suck, just add some better speakers an amplifier and a Motochello switch to wired helmet speakers or Bluetooth
I heard you can’t do more than 105 on this bike. It has a speed cap. Is that true??? Perhaps a rumor start by a litter or Harley rider? Haha!
It's not a rumor - however it's only on the Grand America version due to the top case. Thanks for watching & ride safe!
I have persoanlly tested the K1600B, speed limited to 130mph, on Hwy 212 between Alzada, MT and Belle Forche, SD, even passed a semi doing about 70mph in the process, the bike stable as rock at 130mph in the wake turbulence of a semi. Try that on a Harley, forget that the Harley death wobble comes in at at between 95 and 105 mph.
Completely blows away a street/road glide special and cost less, lol. Harley needs to step up their game, and the 2018's aren't doing that. They'll still sell bikes because people don't care about throwing money away for the name, but the more informed rider would choose this any day over the Harley.
+TJ The majority of HD's 2018 lineup announcement was disappointing and frankly confusing to us over here. We'll see if these new designs resonate with riders. Thanks for watching!
Dear god plz gift me this cruiser....

So what you're saying is that BMW is finally catching up to the Gold Wing?
W Tom the BMW is a sport touring bike and the goldwing is a full touring bike. I'm pretty sure Honda is redoing the goldwing for 2018
The Goldwing has come in several variations. Naked, full touring, and by other names like the Valkyrie and F6. There's also the ST1300 & CTX1300. Not a Gold Wing motor, but Gold Wing inspired.
Good review except parking in fort of handy cap parking. Come on...
yeah, good luck moving that bike with the rider standing right next to it right?
:) Wake up call, wanna sit on the couch or wanna ride.
Val Now that’s pretty funny - thanks for watching & ride safe!
Thanks, truth could be funny too.
Harley What????
How is it possible to ruin a motorcycle that is beautiful on this two wheels frankstein?
I own a 1600 GTL Exclusive. Wait until you have to do the 6000 mile service. BIG BUCKS! great bike nevertheless! This is just another competitor trying to dethrone the KING
+Old Soldier The service really shouldn't be that expensive... I'd be interested to see a breakdown of what you paid and for what.
Old Soldier how much did u pay for the service & what did u get done ?
6,000 mile service was thrown in with the price of mine, but, the 6,000 service is essentially and oil change and about $250 if you paid for it.
I can't see a Harley lover buying this bike unless they are tired of riding a classic styled cruiser. I can see a Harley rider switching to an Indian but not to a K1600 bagger clone. I think a valid reason to switch would be a more performance oriented ride that is very capable of long distance two up cruising, and that would be a K1600GT or GTL. BMW and other manufacturers are light years ahead of Harley in the technology arena but will never achieve the legacy status of Harley unless they buy a name like Indian. Again I'll reiterate that the BMW bagger will be a loser unless you hand over the entire design direction to Rolan Sands.
I'm a harley guy for 20 years and I'm probably going to buy this bike. My harley dealership wont even service my bike any longer, because its a 2002! Well then I will go elsewhere and why not do a massive upgrade. Best thing about harley is the size of the after market. You can do so much to them' and the parts are 1/2 what BWM parts are' but with BMW you don't need much maybe just a better radio. I just need to adjust to those mid controls!
BMW BRING MICH WERKSTATT. fuck that i,ll keep my HD.
Lol, me too, BMW Beer Money Wasted 😂
Fk Harley, this is a grown up persons bike.
He's trying a bit too hard to get people to buy this. Be a bit less obvious dude.
Of course we want people to buy it - the bike is excellent!
Take a 1600K GT throw some floorboards on it , ruin a Rolan Sands design, and you have some weird German idea of a Harley. This will be a loser for BMW.
+Alex Wencel It's been a winner for us so far - only time will tell. Thanks for watching.
He's talking about the bike as if its NOT a K1600 with different paint, lowered, different bags, its a RE-DONE K1600GT, my K1600 has every single option he named minus reverse and reverse is for marys and old timers anyway, otherwise it's a K1600 set up a little differently but what its NOT is a whole new machine, K1600 has been out since 2011, end of story.
Or doesn't he know this? Lame.
Ride one - it might just change your mind. Either way, thanks for watching and enjoy that K1600!
Reverse should be on all 700Lb hogs
No arguments here.
In't shilling this bike to the HD cult like suggesting red hatters should feel the Bern? Okay, wannabe pirates aside, I know HD riders have feelings too . . . but the Beemer's opposition ain't Harley Davidson, it's the devil inside the Ducati Diavel . . .
Setting your funny and interesting commentary aside... do people still buy Diavels?
"Put a deposit down.... Homey". Huh? What if I am not a homey? What are you implying by that question? Not sure what that means. I have tried to "google" it up.Homey... gangster... hmmmm? I am just an ol' country boy, friend... I don't don't like fist-bumping... high fives... or hip-hop music... or "identity" stuff. However... I am an American.... and can appreciate your attempt at the condescending attitude to minorities. But most of 'em... are not stupid. They either hate me and you... or agree with us.Liked your enthusiasm in the vid... hope your recipients of the message loves America as much as I do.But every life matters... yours... mine... everybody's. We are Americans... should be proud of each other.... I have a K1600 B coming in September... but... again... I do like your vids. Can't see your furry-ass face... but I do like your vids.Friend... thanks for hearing me out.MWNN
You make me laugh.
I'm sure a Harley would be a better choice.
There's a butt for every seat
Yes there is. After I put my butt on a K1600 I asked the dealer sales person about maintenance and he said to expect to return the K1600 to the dealership at 6,000 mile intervals. Then I gladly left on my Road Glide.
And then you parked your Road Glide and watched this video.
I actually watched your video before I tested out the K1600B. Informative although you missed any information on ownership cost as returning the K1600B to the dealership after every 6,000 miles made owning the Road Glide that much better.
I don't believe the BMW is any more expensive to maintain based on the intervals between the two bikes and the cost of maintenance. In fact you could purchase a BMW K1600B and service it 5 or so times before it ended up costing the initial purchase price of the Harley.
You're allowed to love your Harley and other people can love the BMW - thanks for watching and enjoy your Road Glide!
Mehn thats an ugly ugly steering bar... it looks like the designer died 🤣
Black Dog ; no not al all, but with this kind of bike i thought they would put Some money in to make a nice cnc inox steering frame instead of a simple tube bar ...
SQUID, riding without protection. I'm out.
Thanks for watching - ride safe!
Stop saying amazing,you are an adult.
That bike is hideous... especially the exhaust... I'll pass.
Pretend it is a Harley and change the exhaust.
This bike will ruin Harley-Davidson
