Why a 2013? A current (2012) K16 would be just as meaningful a commemorative of 40 years of MOA as a 2013.

Other than the MOA, I'm not aware of any significant events in BMW lore in 1972 (other than the introduction of the long-frame /5's!)

Because the 2013 GT/GTL is not going to have the currently optional front end pull or driveline clunk. We wouldn't want someone winning one that had a problem now would we??

What's that??

Apparently you don't get it. This is an awsome bike! Clunk, shmunk, who cares. Go ride one.

I don't think this is about the 40th anniversary of anything BMW itself. This is the 40th anniversary of the MOA. My guess is they have put together a one off version of the 1600. Maybe a special paint scheme and fully loaded.
