There are several motorcycle manufacturers with the same pretensions as BMW decided upon when it made the K1600B . The pretences probably go like : “ Let ’ s build a great touring bike . It ’ s got to be supremely comfortable , have great range , carry bulk luggage with security , have a ruthlessly powerful and glass-smooth motor , handle brilliantly , be mind-bogglingly sophisticated but userfriendly and maybe allow itself to be ridden in anger if the rider decides he ’ s suddenly in a hurry to be somewhere .” And then they got one of their normal bikes , slapped a set of panniers onto it … and kinda gave up on the rest , relying on brand-loyal customers to forgive them .
