Hi gang,
finally took possession of my blue Trophy SE this week and being an ex BMW K1600 GTL owner I thought I would share my first impression...
Ride and handling is much better with the Trophy , I find that you control the bike more easily
Ease of move when off the bike, Trophy is easier to move around in garage/parking etc although it remains a heavy bike
Wind protection is MUCH better on Trophy especially for the hands
No wind swirling back and pushing me forward on the Trophy , I understand its not the same for anyone depending on their size and the height they have to raise the screen to but for me its zero buffeting, big plus in my book!!
You get better millage on the Trophy
Rider position is better ( for me) on the Trophy although the seat itself is more comfy on the K1600GTL
The transmission is MUCH smoother on the Triumph , no click clack when changing speed
More room in the Beemer top case then Trophy
Engine has more power on BMW although I could do little comparison since cant rev the Triumph above 4500 rpm yet but it make sense the BMW will be on top in this category
There you go , my first impression is that a made a VERY good decision to switch!!!
