I had a K1600 GTL last year. Loved the engine but they have a few quality issues to work through before I get another one. Issues with hand controls that shorten out, first model with a slipper clutch resulting in a very annoying drive line lash.

But it handles great and the engine is one if the best I ever had in an MC.

It did not feel that high to me. Seat is narrow in the front and my inseam is 31-32.

That K1600 is nice. The seat height is 29.5 inches though I don't think I could touch the ground, at all lol...

I've been on a Harley for 6 years running, so yeah, I know what you mean

I hade a couple of Busa's but none of them at 200hp. What mods did you do to get that hp? (170ish at the crank if I recall correctly)

My bagger with a 117 makes 123/130 and I break stuff (belts,transmissions,clutches). My Ducati makes 150 at the tire, all day any day with 73ci. You are asking a lot

I just want a damn motor that will survive a whole summer trip. Mine crapped out 3000 miles into a 3600 mile trip. VERY frustrating!

Jswerve, what happened to your motor? I must have missed it in an earlier post. Was it a 110?

I feel for you. These HD engine issues are getting too common and too expensive!

Exhaust valve on the rear cylinder stuck open then the intake valve hit it and bent. Yes 110 with 19k

Will it be a HD warranty repair?

This is why I might not do a cam job yet on the new 2014. I do not want the moco to try and slide out of the warranty.

BTW I'd love the 150hp but just don't trust it for touring and I am getting tired of spending so much on HD. I mean chit when you spend 40K for a bike it sucks to have to spend 2k more to make it run the way you like it. Maybe some of us are just never satisfied.

That is dependent upon your dealer. The one I landed at is covering it.

Good deal. The dealer I am at indicated they can keep me covered if I at their shop. Breaking down on the road may be a different matter? As you might have seen on my other thread about the 255 vs A 54 I am on the fence about the cam work.

Sorry bout the HP thread jack back to the big bikes.
