[QUOTE="Mr_Canoehead, post: 1322609, member: 86927"] And now for the dissenting opinion: I have a friend with a "Job 1" 2011 K16GTL - he ordered it when they were announced and waited a year for the first one in town. No issues from day 1, runs like a top, only been back to the dealer for service - no unscheduled repairs. I was surprised since a new bike with all that tech should have been a nightmare. He rides it hard and does long days. His [I]only[/I] complaint is that it is heavy to move around the garage. His wife loves the passenger accommodation - but their last bike was a Ducati ST3S, so perhaps the expectations were a bit lower than most pillions. I like my FJR but I liked the K13GT, too. The K16 seems to be an excellent bike and is a much better ride than a 'wing, which is its real competitor, IMO. Taking the topbox off and calling it a K16GT doesn't really make it a competitor the FJR. BMW has that covered with the RT. [/QUOTE]
