It will make you a cup of coffee and make your bed in the morning, but it does not have the Adaptive Cruise and Blind Spot Detection. And, Berlin's excuse was inexcusable. They could not find a spot for the sensors in this new design. The 1250 RT has both of those Options available if you want to get them. The engine and transmission are the best and like no other bike. If you never rode one, you are missing one of the greatest bikes of our time.
Great video. Thanks Do I miss the lack of adaptive cruise control and the blind spot monitoring? Or the retro illuminated buttons? If they were an option, of course I would prefer to have it. But is the lack of those features a deal breaker? No, they weren’t. I m saying this because I traded my 1250 RT for this GT and I didn’t regret the decision, not for a second. I felt that the RT was a great bike, I think inclusively, in the wind protection feature, but the K 1600 GT also offers great wind protection , lesser than the RT but clearly enough. So that’s not an issue either. The big and undeniable difference in favor to the K1600 is the engine. The power, the torque , the smoothness of its power delivery is stunning. I probably could return to have an RT if I felt the lack of physical strength or if I just wanted a bike easier to handle by any reason and not so pointy. We can ride the RT fast, but not fast as the K1600. The RT likes to be on that rev range between 3000 and 5000 revs. And the K1600 is glad in every range of power you want and for me and in my opinion that’s a very relevant difference.
Awesome bike!! Great Video Bhroman!!
Wow! It's a power house!! Great bike and great video, Bhroman ! 👌

Thanks for a very thorough review.
Simply the best touring bike out there -
I'm sorry, but I think your report here is just nonsense.
