The CVO forum has been one of my favorite places to go for accurate information about my bikes. Unfortunately I chose 07 to buy a CVO ultra, the issues and cost associated with that bike were unreal. Then I bought a 14 Ultra Limited, leaked coolant 3 times my first month of ownership. Spent a ton on the bike, loved the Daytona Blue paint. Sold it, or should I say, gave it away. Needed a lighter, less top heavy bike, easier to maneuver due to medical reasons, thought my riding days were over.
Then the 18 models gave me the bug, missed having a bike big time.
When I saw the 18 BMW K1600B bagger I liked what I saw, when I test rode it, I feel in love.
Much lighter, fit the bill as they say. 741 lbs wet, has reverse, a biggie for me. Really good suspension, beyond anything I had ever experienced, smooth as silk on the freeway, handles like a dream. Corners more like a sport bike than touring. Then the power, 6cyl putting out 160hp and 129 lb torque. 70% of the torque at 1500 rpm.
A great GPS system that removes for easy trip mapping and free lifetime updates. Complete keyless system, really good Bluetooth system, traction control, linked Brembo brakes, a fantastic self leveling headlight system. Clutchless shifting option, tire pressure monitoring, heated seats and grips, On and on. For the same price as a road glide special. Plus you get a 3 year warranty ( paid $1500 to upgrade to 6 years, no deductible and unlimited mileage ).
Still would love to own another Harley, maybe a used softail if it's ever in the budget. Just wanted to explain why I bought a non Harley after all these years. I gotta say, every time I ride this BMW I'm grinning ear to ear, it's such a fine machine.
Hope it's OK to lurk around on the great CVO site.
