But BMW have made life easier with an optional reverse gear for the first time on the 1600, using the starter motor to move the bike backwards. At 334kg (90% fuelled up) that equates to 52.5 stone in old money, which is a lot of weight to shuffle backwards. However, there’s no getting away from the fact the 1600 is big. And which, when you open the throttle hard, makes a silky 160bhp. This is the engine, remember, that makes 70% of its torque at just 1500rpm.
