I'm done with sports bikes now. Last few bikes have been KTM supermoto's, should have kept my last one, 690 (truck exhaust, beakster style) with 2k miles on the clock, mint condition. Sold that and just bought a wee Honda CRF250 Rally in September' 19. Solid engine and great fun.

Surprisingly and annoyingly not a lot of natural off roading can be had in Scotland

Finally received my REMUS Custom Quad Slip-On Exhaust for my '19 BMW K1600B.
I placed my order July 3rd and received them November 25.I removed the DB killers and I couldn't ask for a better sounding/looking exhaust.
While cruising between 3500-4500 RPM range at highway speeds (55-65mph) the exhaust note is pleasant while not being obnoxious, at all.
Roll on the throttle and get into the 5500-8000 RPM range (mph not included) and this exhaust comes alive and roars like a beast similar to an exotic sports car.

@joseph69 She's a beaut. Those cans exude class in that matte black. I couldn't imagine a better bike for cruising the American roads. I sometimes find even my K1300S on the portly side for some of our roads. As much as I like my K13, there's definitely some mods outstanding I need to make to address comfort; although it's no sportsbike in riding ergonomics, I'm still a bit canted forward than I'd prefer to be. Your K1600B, on the other hand, looks more comfortable than my sofa!

Thank you very much for the compliments, I appreciate it very much.
The B is comfortable for me without any modifications due to my particular body frame with the exception of my inseam which could be a little longer so I'd be flat footed all of the time instead of on the balls of my feet sometimes, but I manage very well. Move forward and do the mods you need to be done so you're as comfortable as you can be for your body frame. Ride safe, and enjoy!

I grew up on a pecan farm had my first scrambler at 13 a 80 cc a hand me down . Next was a Ktm 125 also a hand me down . My first own bike was a Ktm 250 scrambler at 15. Broke an arm and leg within the first 6 months on that . At uni I had a Vespa which i still have and later a Yamaha xvs250 I never appreciated it much, In between the Yamaha and my first duke was two Hondas both 400 cc. I have a car but use that only for the short winter season here although sometimes the wind makes life difficult on a bike but still fun .

Ktm 390 Duke this is my third one.

Ducati Scrambler Café Racer but honestly most days i am still on the ktm it is fun on the road I travel to work every day all sharp twists mountains and sea.
I do love the scrambler . I Love naked bikes but will get another non - naked this year.
