That's a wide pricing range ($21K -$26K). To me the base price has enough options on it to satisfy my demands. But that's just one guys opinion. Now when will these cycles find their way to our local BMW dealerships for us all to see/sit/test drive? And I still can’t find any production numbers on the 1600 series from BMW.

I agree, but the step up from base to standard GT is a no brainer. Less than $1k for ESA, DTC, TPM and adaptive lighting is a pretty good deal. The step up to premium will be a harder sell.

[ARTSBEST]

Yeah ssduc.. You're right. For the price the standard GT is a no brainer. Less than $1k is well worth it. Does BMW allow its dealers to sell over sticker? Years ago Porsche tied (in vain) to rid US dealers who were selling the cars under a certain price. I wonder if the opposite is true with BMW in its cycle business? Because I foresee a demand/supply situation with the 1600 line of cycles that will benefit BMW. Why do I say this? NO production numbers have been released. They don't want to tip their hand.

• The world’s lightest and most compact six-cylinder engine on a production motorcycle. At 226 lbs (including clutch, gearbox and alternator) and less than 22 inches wide, the six-cylinder engine in the K 1600 models is comparable in size to four-cylinder power plants.

• The world’s most advanced audio and communications system on a motorcycle.
Bluetooth for wireless communication, Sirius satellite radio with a complimentary 12-month subscription, integration for iPod, USB stick and auxiliary input, AM/FM tuner, pre-wired for Navigator 4.
• A multi-controller on the left-hand grip, which allows riders to operate the motorcycle’s systems and adjust its settings without taking their hands off the bars.

Due to extraordinary customer response, the K 1600 GT/GTL pre-sale program will end February 28 to enable BMW Motorrad retailers to fulfill pre-orders in a timely manner.

“The positive response to our pre-sale program speaks volumes about the reputation of our dealers and the strong confidence consumers have in BMW’s technology and quality,” commented Todd Andersen, Marketing Manager, BMW Motorrad USA.

it seams that the bikes are also avaible in the bike configurator application, in some countries, at least here on the austrian site.
price range for us starts at 23.900€

here is the basic main link for the country selection for the application ... have a look (use IE, application doesn't work well with firefox) ... maybe it is avaible for your country too:
