My 2012 K1600 GT has 600 miles on it and I have enjoyed every mile over the past month. One of the most smooth and comfortable moto's I have ever had the pleasure of owning. One question: I have had R1200 RT's and the engine temperature NEVER went above 2 "hash marks", even in swealtering Florida summers. I notice that my K1600 GT runs hot at idle during red light stops. My perception of hot is when the guage moves to the 75% point and the fan kicks on. Once moving again, it lowers to the middle or slightly below. I realize that this moto is a 6 cyl machine and significantly different from the R1200 RT and I may be over reacting. Still has break-in oil but now at 600 miles, I am scheduled for the first service on Monday. It has not burned a drop of break-in oil (I do an oil and tire pressure precheck each time I prepare for a ride. Curious if anyone has any comments or has similar concerns. I will ask my BMW Dealer Service Manager about this on Monday.
