Thank you for taking the time to do this. It’s an excellent video. I truly appreciated the extended pauses on the street signs. I normally hate music on motorcycle videos. It worked! Thank you for reminding me why I ride.
Sitting here in the suburbs of Chicago on a day that is only in the 20s F, this video made me so jealous! Absolutely wonderful camera work and views. Thanks for the relaxing music and well written comments. This is a bucket list trip for my wife and I. The closest we have gotten to this kind of scenery is the Canadian Rockies but this is so much more spectacular! Very pleasant video.
Wow, driving into the car park on top of the Susten brought back memories, i thought i'd never see that car park back in 1995 when i traveled all the Swiss passes on my 2 stroke rd350lc, it protested the last 300meters at 20kmh spluttering and gasping for air! Since then i had the pleasure of driving many bikes in Switzerland. The only thing is sticking to the speed limits (Which can be tedious, on those beautiful 80kmh roads) which are strictly enforced by police and it can get very expensive, as Baron von grumble who hosts the 44teeth blog here on YT recently found out. Excellent video by the way. Thanks.
Great video, thanks for sharing the ride. In 2016 I had the pleasure of riding over those fabulous passes in the opposite direction starting with Nufenen Pass and finishing with Susten Pass (in both directions). I was lucky to have great weather too and it was one of the nicest rides I've ever done.
Did all of these passes many times with my own GTL. A pure joy! Stelvio, Splügen, narrow passes on Corsica, this big bike climbs any (asphalted) mountain road!
Great video, I am from the US, New York. Some day I will come to Europe. I am very impressed with the BMW K1600GTL. I would love to get one, but alas, I am stuck in that Harley Davidson frame of mind. Old habits are hard to break. I met a fellow traveler last summer going cross country, he had the BMW. He couldn't be happier with his bike. Ride on my friend...
New York is awesome but if you were to treat yourself to two weeks touring Europe on a BMW K1600 life would never be the same again for you! Harley’s...........just no, they are so out of touch with what a great bike can be. You only live once buddy, don’t have regrets about what you could have done!
Great video. I grew up in the western U.S. and have road all over the Rocky Mountains but this looks so much different. Would love to go there and ride.
Very nice video! Sustenpass is gorgeous. We made this exact route there few years ago bit the weather was rainy and chilly. Still the nature was great even thru the clouds.
If you rode that far in Australia your would have three inches of bugs splattered everywhere lol..beautiful place to ride..have to add to the bucket list
Breath taking ride! I can only imagine the smile your face doing the ride, I’d be gleaming! Your bmw bagger seems to effortlessly glide through it. Would love to hear your views on the ride. Ps. So miss the Swiss/Italian/Austrian alps, brings back memories. Thank you for sharing & HNY, May it bring you happiness & joyful rides.
Roads seem to be in great condition. I went a couple of times on bike holidays to France but the roads were really rough. My Suzuki gsx750f was also a lot rougher than your ride. I am amazed by the tech on bikes these days. Electronic suspension, navigation, heated bum and hands etc.
i did them all and lived to tell the tale. very different than quebec. furka in fog is scary. it s all scary if you are afraid of heights. the alps are the best place for motorcycling
Very incredible presentation. Could you please tell us what music we are listening to? It’s very soothing and would be very enjoyable to listen to as the rest of us are traveling on 2 wheels. Thanks!
Larry Gee Thanks, I’m traveling and also the video is no longer on my computer but on backup device so unfortunately I would not be able to provide the details without some effort. Maybe these music recognition software can do this for you?
Hi Allan, any chance sharing the gpx file ? Not that I want to be shameless and copy your ride one on one but just to get my bearings as I plan a similar trip for 2021 on the 1250RS if the situations allows it. Thx a mill !
Hi Rix If I still have the gps data they would be on one of my offline storages. Alternative it’s easier to lay a route based on the passes. These passes only offer one route between them. You would notice this as soon as you lay a route on a map.
Thanks, the K1600 is a Tour bike and heavy. It’s still agile and works well in corners also with a passenger. 70% of the torque is below 2K rpm, so it pulls like a bull.
This is the best motorcycle tour video I've seen. Well done! I just bought a K1600GT myself and can't wait to get it in the Alps. Which resolution did you use to make such a great video?
It’s so nice to see European car drivers moving out of the way to allow bikes to ride up between lanes, in the US car drivers are likely to open their door to stop you if you try “lane splitting” as they call it....such assholes! It’s probably something to do with the fact that most Europeans’ first vehicle is a scooter/moped/motorbike so they understand that bikers deserve a little respect. Not much can beat touring in the Alps but it’s not for the faint hearted, 1km drop offs at road sides can seriously spook some riders!
Its so pretty, really like this one, but why.....jesus why so many people use music in videos with bikes. Nobody want to hear music when you can enjoy the original bike sound 🤔
Thanks Adam, but a BMW are not really making any noise, it would be much wind noise. If we removed the noise reduction on the bike, we would be stopped on each corner in Switzerland ;-) previously I did race track and these bikes make the right music, cheers
In the tunnel there was enough space on the right to overtake without squeezing in. Only one motorist broke traffic rules by using that right side. Good country where everyone obeys the law❤️
Ok...most people wants to hear a different kind of music when watching films like this and that is the music from that 1.6l engine. Beautiful film though.
Takker, Ja, Helt ny fra 2016. Jeg har ikke haft et eneste problem med den - Måtte after Kroatien 2017 turen skifte dæk da den begyndte at tabe luft. Alt virker perfekt. Gear skifte er for mig det punkt de kunne forbedre. Det gjorde de med 2017 model med quick shift up/down.
Ok video, but always confusing when the camera is mounted on top of the helmet. All these small look around you do with your head, gives the video a unsteady impression. I like it much more with a steady camera angle with GPS data visible on the screen. Nice editing and music though, I could learn something here for my own videos.
Best of the best video found on internet, So classic and enjoyable
The background music add essence to that....
Love from india
beautiful video greetings from argentina
Great video.... Our
beautiful Europe...
Wow. Just makes me want to load up my bike and head to Switzerland again. Amazing!
Wonderful video. Super picture quality. And someone who drives properly. ;-) Thank you!
One of the most beautiful films from a motorbike that Is on the internet. Greetings from Holland
Yeah!!!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. It’s an excellent video. I truly appreciated the extended pauses on the street signs. I normally hate music on motorcycle videos. It worked! Thank you for reminding me why I ride.
I love the music, it goes right along with the scenery! Thanks for sharing.
A delight to watch thank you.
Beautiful scenery and MC roads!

Spectacular video, thanks for sharing. And a great bike of course.

Fabulous video, subbed. Many thanks. (it just so happens I've just bought a k1600gt too). Safe travels.
Thank you for this gift! Have to go there now!
Gorgeous countryside! Hello from Silver City, New Mexico
Great video! Congrats! The placement of the camera is spot on, you can see the scenery, the road and the bike! Really nice!
Excellent video, very inspiring. I hope to ride this route myself sometime this year.
Great video, I am from the US, New York. Some day I will come to Europe. I am very impressed with the BMW K1600GTL.

Look at the new K1600 Bagger

Just wonderful thank you just need the bmw 1600gtl maybe next year.
Excelente video amigo felicidades!!!
Great video, very enjoyable. Was there myself last month, and loved every minute of it. Thanks for sharing your trip. Regards, Paul
Great video. I grew up in the western U.S. and have road all over the Rocky Mountains but this looks so much different. Would love to go there and ride.
Top!!! Greetings from Montevideo Uruguay
so beautiful
Very nice video! Sustenpass is gorgeous. We made this exact route there few years ago bit the weather was rainy and chilly. Still the nature was great even thru the clouds.
Thank you for sharing those fantastic views. Great choice of music as well. Must tour Switzerland
If you rode that far in Australia your would have three inches of bugs splattered everywhere lol..beautiful place to ride..have to add to the bucket list

great video and thanks for sharing.
you'd better eat something :) great trip, lovely country, attractive m.bike, music also.
Roads seem to be in great condition. I went a couple of times on bike holidays to France but the roads were really rough. My Suzuki gsx750f was also a lot rougher than your ride. I am amazed by the tech on bikes these days. Electronic suspension, navigation, heated bum and hands etc.
Great Video, I love Switzerland!
Amazing
Masterpiece
Delete the music! I wanted to hear the roar of that 1600GTL! Beautiful scenery
Thanks but a BMW is not a noisy supersport or Harley, instead it sounds like a perfect balanced machinery 😎
@@MrAllanolesen Agreed. I have a Grand America and there is nothing like the sound of that 6cyl.
i did them all and lived to tell the tale. very different than quebec. furka in fog is scary. it s all scary if you are afraid of heights. the alps are the best place for motorcycling
It was a very good video! Thanks! :)

Perfect
Amazing camera work and ride. But would have been better without the music. That BMW cylinder has amazing music!

I think I just fell in love..........
Was ist besser die K1600 GTL oder die GT??
Beautiful video, congratulations. One question: how did the K1600 behave in the corners?
Thanks, the K1600 is a Tour bike and heavy. It’s still agile and works well in corners also with a passenger. 70% of the torque is below 2K rpm, so it pulls like a bull.
Cool man 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤘🏻🇨🇭
nimeipenda sana .karibu Tanzania utafurahia ukiwa na Bmw k600gtl .uko Poa ndugu.
Nice scenery, music okay, but I would have liked to have commentary from the rider and head what the rider was hearing.😸
This is the best motorcycle tour video I've seen. Well done! I just bought a K1600GT myself and can't wait to get it in the Alps. Which resolution did you use to make such a great video?
Hi Gary, thanks for the kind words. I use 1080p 24 because iPad can't accept higher resolution or speed.
You will have a fantastic time with your new BMW. They are just awesome.
Je conseille aussi Bâle-Neuchâtel-Genève-Annecy(Fr) et Bâle-Sondrio(It)
The good life~
Hello, ur video was great.. Can I know the First backsound?
Hello from Argentina!! Nice video. What’s the name of the soundtrack?
Backgroud music name plz
It’s so nice to see European car drivers moving out of the way to allow bikes to ride up between lanes, in the US car drivers are likely to open their door to stop you if you try “lane splitting” as they call it....such assholes!

why music ...?
Seven gallon fuel tank comes in handy.
Its so pretty, really like this one, but why.....jesus why so many people use music in videos with bikes. Nobody want to hear music when you can enjoy the original bike sound 🤔

Hej Allan 😄
Tack för videon , den var fin !
Är du nöjd med din GTL/E ?
Inga problem ?

Gear skifte er for mig det punkt de kunne forbedre. Det gjorde de med 2017 model med quick shift up/down.
