Just about ever creature comfort available - ABS Brakes, lockable hard bags, cruise control, adjustable windscreen with memory, no chain to worry with has shaft drive, LED Headlights also LED Cornering lights, adjustable seat height, and it will accept an optional hard top case from Yamaha if you wish to add one. Also has traction control, Bluetooth etc. Show less

Love the power low and top end. Able to hang in the curves and yet can comfortably ride all day on the interstate. No chain to worry with shaft drive is designed so there is little to no dive when applying brakes or accelerating. Great hard bags easily detachable and lockable. Windscreen moves with the touch of a button and remembers previous setting. Seat is one of the most comfortable Show less

This is an outstanding touring model that is comfortable on long rides and short ones. I have owned multiple Harley models (Road glide, Fatboy, Softail deluxe) and this is my favorite. It feels great and sounds spectacular with custom rhinehart pipes, a heavy breather air flow and a Tuner. The windshield provides more than enough air-flow protection to make each ride pleasant if you so choose. Show less

I have logged over 350,000 miles "behind the bars" on 29 different motorcycles since the summer of '61. Hoggy, my beloved 2019 Harley Road King, was bike number 28. When it comes to anything motorcycle, buying, touring, camping, fixing, restoring and selling I really do kinda- sorta, know what I'm talking about. When I was sales manager for a motorcycle company in Portland, Oregon I sold, took in trade and test rode probably 300 bikes; accordingly, you can trust my experience. What I like most about my 2019 Road King is really everything. First off, its the handling and the ride. Hoggy is my 3rd Road King and my 5th Harley and I must say that I don't know what they did to the '19 but it handles like a sport bike. Its is so smooth and corners so much better than any Harley I have owned. When I bought the bike in late 2018 I could still put in a 400-500 mile day (and did). The bike inhales pavement and seems to make short of long distances. The Road King does not have a big hunk of plastic hanging off the front end making it lighter up there for quicker handling. The Road King is the real Harley, its what other models really come from. Its what the cops use almost everywhere except on the west coast. And so secondly, I'd say it looks like a Harley. The 2 fog lights around the huge headlight and the classic windshield give it that l940's - 50's look: you know: Marilyn Monroe, Coca-cola, rock Show less

I have owned the motorcycle since 2019 and never had an experience where the bike stopped running. This is a smooth riding experience. I recently replaced the front wheel with 19-inch wheels and the back with 16-inch wheels. Also, brand new tires—16-inch handlebars, new saddle bags, and new LED headlights Show less

Review: 2023 BMW K1600B – Power, Prestige, and Pure Riding Bliss The 2023 BMW K1600B is not just a motorcycle—it’s a grand touring experience engineered for those who demand everything. It blends jaw-dropping performance with true long-distance luxury, wrapping it all in a low-slung, menacing silhouette that turns heads before the engine even starts. At its heart lies BMW’s iconic 1,649cc inline-six engine—effortless, smooth, and powerful. With torque available practically off idle, the K1600B launches with authority and cruises with grace. There’s a reason this powerplant has a cult following: it’s mechanical perfection. But the performance is only half the story. What sets the K1600B apart is the way it pampers the rider. Heated grips and seats, an electronically adjustable windscreen, reverse assist, and keyless ride are just the beginning. This bike doesn’t just get you to your destination—it elevates the entire journey. And when it comes to safety, BMW delivers in full. With Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), Adaptive Headlights that follow the curve of the road, Hill Start Control, ABS Pro, and Dynamic Traction Control, the K1600B is as intelligent as it is powerful. The technology works seamlessly in the background, giving you total confidence in every condition. The massive 10.25” TFT display is crystal-clear and loaded with intuitive controls—navigation, bike status, ride data—all beautifully integrated with BMW’s best-in-class interface. Then there’s the presence. The styling is unmistakable: long, low, and loaded with attitude. The K1600B isn’t flashy—it’s commanding. Since the day I bought it, not once have I ridden it without getting at least one compliment. People literally flag me down at stoplights to say how incredible this bike looks. Once, a couple rolled down their window at an intersection just to shout their admiration—she even leaned across his lap to say it herself. It’s that kind of bike. Simply put, the 2023 BMW K1600B is a rolling masterpiece. It’s what happens when no compromises are made. If you’re looking for a motorcycle that redefines luxury touring while delivering uncompromising performance and safety, this is the one. Show less

This is a very good bike. Lots of technology combined with style. The first American motorcycle company. A real attention getter. This is a very good bike. Lots of technology combined with style. The first American motorcycle company. A real attention getter. Show less

Bought as my first bike and love every bit of it. I am 6'5" @ 230. This bike fits me well I can flat foot it easily. Riding position is comfortable. This bike has enough power to go 90 with me on it and still have more to give. I added the Triumph frame sliders and passenger grab rails. The passenger grab rails are a must if you are riding with someone. With my wife(140) and I this bike will go 80 and still want to go faster if needed. Bike has ABS,traction control, rider modes, and a quick shifter. You can also tame the throttle for new riders too get use to the power before unleashing it all. I love this bike and would recommend it to anyone! Show less
