Looking at the spec sheet, 1,649cc across six cylinders for 160 hp and 132.7 lb-ft is what gets my pulse up. The numbers haven't moved much from the outgoing bike, but 29.9 gallons of total storage tells you how seriously they've built this for actually carrying gear. K1600s always win on polish over flash, and that's exactly my type.

What's actually different from the GS?

Why not just get a Gold Wing honestly.

29.9 gallons of storage, could cross the whole continent with that.

Just imagining that inline-six sound, I'm already in love.

$30,095 is way too much, come on.

Kinda makes sense for a 789 lb bike though.
