I've never owned one but I've spent many years servicing and fixing them in the main dealers.
They are a great bike to ride. Such speed and power. Very comfortable and packed full of features.
But like any technology loaded BMW, they are prone to finicky faults and problems.
My advice is to get one with a warranty. And make sure you can extend the warranty. BMW do their own used bike warranty.
Fixing a 1600 out of warranty can really bankrupt you. NOTHING is affordable on it.
Older models used year around are very prone to clogged radiators and overheating. Check carefully. £850 for a new one plus hours of labour.
Adaptive headlights fail too. £2000 !!
As always, the simpler the model, the better.
