K1600B Wobble

8475 Views 61 Replies 27 Participants Last post by  Sixgun95
I’ve been considering a used 2018 -19 Grand America. I’ve read on this site that the 1600B has a dangerous wobble at highway speeds especially when encountering cross winds and truck turbulence.
Has BMW resolved this issue?
Does the GTL also have aforementioned proble?

This is a debatable subject. Some people (I'm one of them) claim they do not experience said turbulence. It seems I'm in the minority but it's my story and I'm sticking with it. I have over 25k miles on my 18 B and have never felt an out of the ordinary wobble or feeling of instability and I ride a lot here in flat boring Michigan.

Addendum: I can also ride with no hands for as long as the road will allow without any pull to the left, as many report.

I am very thankful that the Mothership did not ship me one with these gremlins.

We could use all of these posts over the years on this subject to create a Wikipedia page there is so much information, opinions, and feelings. This topic and the passion it incites always makes for good reading and never ceases to make me smile.

Rubber down lady and gentlemen.
