New BMW K 1600 mod… | Big tourer motorcycles are back!

October 31, 2021 admin

Freshly announced today is the return of the BMW K 1600 range. Initially revealed back in 2010, the K 1600 range was initially put to market with the intentions of combatting the Honda Gold Wing, and with its release brought full premium touring capabilities to the roads.

It’s a segment that has seen an influx of new metal in recent months, most notably the Suzuki GSX-S1000 GT & upcoming Honda NT1100. Perhaps the surge of ‘staycationing’ has prompted manufacturers to ready their long-distance touring options for riders with full luggage sets and their +1s in tow.

The pinnacle of the Gold Wing range features literally every conceivable bell and whistles you could imagine on a long-distance touring motorcycle, including a riders airbag stashed where the fuel filler cap should be.

To say the top-spec Gold Wing is well equipped is like saying that Stephen Hawking was ‘fairly smart’. Although all that spec and kit does

Honda Civic 1.5T 4D Touring

October 26, 2021 admin

In a way, the new-for-2022 Civic reminds me of Mercedes-Benz’s C-Class cars: They’ve both grown up. And whereas we once bought them because we couldn’t afford the fancier models, now we buy them because we just don’t want a bigger car. They’ve caught up with the rest of the family in value, refinement and overall swank.
