BMW K 1600 Grand America vs Indian Chieftain Dark Horse Comparison

The BMW K 1600 Grand America is the perfect definition of a grand tourer on two-wheels. Big, heavy, with hard-case panniers and more than enough wind protection, the K 1600 Grand America is built for the long, open road, to cover long distances in comfort and ease. And yes, there's that peach of an inline six-cylinder as well, as a bonus, or the highlight, if you will.

The Indian Chieftain Dark Horse is a highly capable, comfortable and entertaining big cruiser which nails the cruiser look to a T. It's a comfortable bagger to cover long distances on straight roads, with possibly a sweeping curve or few. The only downisdes are the heat from the engine, particularly in the Indian summer, the weight and the price.
