    KI1600 GTL Cruise Control Issue

    I bought my K1600 GTL new in 2012 and have had intermittent failures of cruise control ever since. I use cruise control ALOT locally because of my right hand problems, and rarely have it fail, however once I'm on a longer trip, cruise control becomes flakey. I've had this evaluated at the...

    K1600's any frame differences

    My current ride is a 2015 F800R, I'm contemplating going to one of the K1600's but was curious if the frame was the same on all the models (B, GT, GTL). I like the look of the "B", however, I don't want to trade off handling performance of a GT. Essentially, are the bikes the same (B, GT, GL)...
