It's ugly but at least it's interesting...

Looks good to me....Tight&trim. Bet it works right.

Designed and built by folks that know what "right" is.

looks like some weird cross between a Silverwing, DN-01, and K1600GT... What the hell!

Mama says he's bona fide
K1600-based bagger? Hell yes!

See more pics in this Autoblog gallery.

Note seating position in the on-road photos. Rider's feet are under his center of mass, where they ought to be. Not splayed out in the gynecologist's examination style. Seat height looks low for my taste, though.

Came in for the inevitable ugly (and I own a BMW). Left thinking actually not bad. Looks like BMW's take on the Diavel, but with a bit more style actually.

It really doesn't look that bad.

But, come on, vinyl wood look decals? :wtf

If it's not burled walnut, it doesn't fit my hi-klas immige.:x

Page 20 of the gallery shows definite cross-grain cuts, so it's true wood. Last few pics show different color schemes, so there's that. Hi-viz not available (yet). :laughing

No mention of the K1600 adaptive headlight? Not in this model?

Exhaust tips turned out 90 degrees? No, thanks. Slash cut under the baggage is better. Optional?

I want this thing in the original Concept 6 or K1600R... :teeth

"Amid silver paint surfaces, brushed aluminium and carbon, there are dark wood elements that add a warm, exclusive counterpoint. The elaborately milled wood, only treated with oil, emphasises the horizontal gesture of the side sections with its discreet grain. The model designation is integrated in the wood surfaces as an elaborate aluminium insert and badge. On the seat, two leather qualities further reflect the bike’s exclusive character: the fine-grain black leather of the side sections adds a touch of elegance to complement the perforated black leather of the seat area itself. A brown leather strip separates these two distinct sections."

No nauga died for this vehicle. Nor Corinthian leather.

You're just saying that... You're trying to fake me out before you start talking about Scotts dampers & street bars... :laughing
