    Confirmed, at 70mph on a flat straight path on the motorway she was doing 3K rpm consistently and 47.8mpg.

    I believe at those speeds the RPM is between 2.5K and just below 3K depending on road conditions. I am due to take her out today to collect my new Alpinestar helmet and jacket 😊 Since it will be mainly motorway, I will have a look to confirm the exact RPM. The yellow warning that blocked your...

    More than one bike

    I am not an expert on the K1600B since I only have 3 weeks experience on it but, when I was doing my research on the model, I came across some statements from a few owners mentioning that their bikes had a tendency to pull to the left ever so slightly and they attributed this tendency to the...

    New Motorcycle Release 15 May

    Here are some pics I took last week on a trip to Maldon in Essex. The way there has many twisties and hills, therefore needed to assist with the breaking period.

    New Motorcycle Release 15 May

    Cheers buddy. I sort of never left 🤫 I keep checking on you guys and follow whatever you guys are up to, hope none one mind me doing this. I love this place and it is a hard to break habit. I have not ridden much as coincidentally my left knee has been bothering me for a bit , so only 328 mls...

    New Motorcycle Release 15 May

    There is wide speculation about a new K bike and some even daring YouTube AI channels saying it will be 1800 as opposed to 1600 to compete with the King of the Baggers, some even call it the K1000R 😂 We need to wait and see.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Looking good mate. When I had my B🥲 she came with a ginormous number plate and the first thing I did was to buy a private reg and make it the smallest legally size available in the UK. Huge difference aesthetically.

    What I’ve learnt so far…

    Thank you buddy, likewise. Indeed I missed the rain and by the time I was riding past Sevenoaks, the skies turned blue. The K was sold by Vanes of Guildford.

    What I’ve learnt so far…

    I rode my B for the last time yesterday to the dealership 89 mls away to part exchange her for the K. I normally play my stereo when riding and the last song, which coincidentally finished as I switched the engine off, was This House is not for sale by Bon Jovi. I don’t believe in my own shadow...

    Danke, kumpel. Wenn ich es jemals nach Oregon schaffe, werden wir dieses Bier trinken🍻

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Glad you had the chance to test one. The K is different to any other bike I have ridden and it is definitely a mile muncher. What I like the most is the relaxed ride given the wind management/protection is very good. That paired with the super smooth and vibration free acceleration and ride...

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Thank you for the advice. I have heard a few horror tales about that and the coils, therefore will bear that in mind. Yes, the engine sound is very pleasant to hear. I was considering to change the exhausts for the quad Remus but quite frankly, the stock ones sounds pretty good. The Remus allows...

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    I hope not and I hope to see more R18 in the wild. Keep safe mate👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Thank you for that. I will definitely look into adding protection to her. Although lighter than my B, she is still a heavy ballerina.

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Thank you kindly Scott. I was a pleasure doing my bit for your Bobber project. You too look after yourself and stay safe. All the best, Anibal 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

    It has been a blast👏👏👏

    Trust me when I tell you that my heart is very heavy. I have done my research on the K for a number of years and I am aware of the quirks and complexity of the bike, compared to the R18 platform which is a lot easier to live with, maintain and sure footed on the road, but I find myself more and...
