Has anyone done a 0-60 test on the 2014 GTL-E? If so, what is it? I'm thinking it's around 3.5, but I haven't clocked it yet.
 
I'm betting that a 130 lb. magazine test rider with a dozen practice launches under his/her belt can get it under 3 seconds. The Yamaha FJR 1300 has tested at 2.8 seconds and the Suzuki Hayabusa at 2.5 seconds. I own a FJR and think the K1600 is a bit quicker.
 
I'm going to call BS. My GTL-E is a 2014, and I'm certain it's under 4.0. Just not sure how much. Don't know how to do an accurate test without a "go pro" either.

If you have a smart phone you can get a free app to do 0-60, 0-100 and quarter mile times.
 
All I know is it's fast enough.
For a test I loaded my adult son on to go get burgers.
500lbs. of flesh
150 yard uphill freeway on ramp
Entered the on ramp at 25 mph
Entered freeway in 5th gear at 90 mph.:burnout

5th @ 90? Probably should still be in 4th with the weight! Wind her out, she loves it!
