And the K1600B makes every trip an absolute pleasure . That we live in a time when you can easily acquire what is manifestly the final word in true motorcycle Grand Touring is simply great . I have lived long enough to see this happen . A bike I can ride for 12 hours a day , over all kinds of roads , at all kinds of speeds , and that actually corners and stops , with a road presence simply unequalled ( no matter how much noise your UltraGlide makes ), is cause for wonder . Still not convinced ? OK , I get that . People like what they like , even if what they like isn ’ t the best thing they can get for what they want to do . The only way to fix that is to compare the K1600B to every other bike with pretensions of grand touring . Actually go out and compare them . Touch them . Sit on them . Open the panniers , and make the sale-person show you the suite of electronics at your disposal . Note the level of finish on each . Then ride them . Back to back , if you can . But not to worry if you can ’ t . Because once you ride the K1600B , it will stay with you forever . Yes , it ’ s precisely THAT kind of bike .
