BMW K 1600 GTL vs Indian Springfield Comparison

The BMW K 1600 GTL is a perfecetly balanced, if big, touring machine with an incredibly smooth inline six-cylinder engine. The K 1600 GTL has everything going for it, solid road presence, comfortable ergonomics and ride, a brilliant engine and solid brakes. The only downside is the price and the lack of some new-age electronics and features.

Now discontinued, the Springfield was one of the large cruiser Indian sold here. This motorcycle has been developed for long distance touring and this is why the V-Twin thunderstroke engine has excellent torque spread. The seats are extremely comfortable and the presence of large windscreen makes sure the rider isn’t a victim of heavy crosswinds. But the brand lacks the reach in India. Plus, it doesn’t have much sales and service reach.
