The BMW K1600 Grand America Outguns the Honda Gold Wing Tour

In Motorcyclist magazine’s web series “On Two Wheels,” hosts Zack and Ari give viewers a fun and detailed look at some of the best motorcycles available.

Recently, the hosts compared the BMW K1600 Grand America and the Honda Gold Wing Tour by taking them out for a long ride to Laguna. On their trip they discovered many key differences between these two touring motorcycles.

In the end, the two came to the conclusion that although the Gold Wing has a sleek appearance and offers riders with fun and comfort, the Grand America motorcycle focuses on the most important aspect of the vehicle: performance.
