    Thanks for sharing Haroon. Have you have ridden a BMW K1300R? I wanted to know your opinion of it.

    YouTube - BMW K 1600 GT and GTL




    The new BMW K1600GT & GTL grand touring bikes seem to be carving a separate niche for itself. Seeing good initial reviews from auto journalists around the world, it could even be voted the bike of the year 2011. Although they are way advanced technology wise with the adaptive zenon headlights and a lighter & compact 6 cylinder engine with sporty handling & explosive power etc, we have to see how they fair in the real world taking on the tried & tested Honda Goldwing, which has been the industry standard for Luxury touring bikes for many years now.

    Sure Sri & Ajay the report & pics are on their way. Work is just too overwhelming in office. Also YouTube is taking long to upload the few videos. Anyway, being the week-end here I have to finish it by tomorrow as I also have a deadline from a local newspaper in Saudi for the article.

    Just recd info from cochin that the bike has been loaded onto a ship today, so another 2-3 weeks without my bike..

    OK, here is a teaser from the starting day
