Based on the lack of posts I would agree. When I/you get into the size, weight, profile of these bikes I do appreciate it. In close parking spots much better control backing in or out. I know many of the Gold Wings and some Harley's have it. Don't know about the bigger Japanese brands. I've owned 14 motorcycles over the years and never had the need. Got to the K1600B I appreciate it. Use it until you get comfortable. It is controllable and not jumpy. Enjoy!
Well, I have only tried once to walk my GTL out of a parking spot that was nose down no more than 10 degrees from level. I don't think I said "son-of-a-bi***" more times in 2 minutes in my whole life. It was like trying to back the USS Nimitz up Niagara Falls. Reverse would have been ideal for that situation. My next K will have reverse.I use reverse each time I ride. I back it out of my motorcycle garage up a hill to a flat spot about 20' from where I start. Love it. My Aprilia I have to push but it doesn't weigh anything close to what the K does.

I've used the reverse in the showroom here at the dealership and love it. I pulse it, give it a bit to get it going and let the inertia do the trick, and repeat until the bike is where I want it to be. It is a godsend,and I wish my '15 K1600GT had it.
