Well, since I haven't ridden the BMW much lately, I'll have to post my 2021 KTM 890 Adventure R pics.

Mods? Oh man....I'm not quite done yet, still have the new bars to put on, new handguards, skidplate, Rottweiler intake, cat-delete pipe and slip-on and tune. THEN maybe I'll be done....maybe. I've found that, unlike streetbikes, these ADV bikes need a TON of customization because of all the different duties they're tasked with. And I'm not like some of the ADV guys who are ENDLESSLY adding stuff (complete new wheelsets, all new instrument "towers", lights, etc. I'm only adding the things I need for traveling and for protection. So, so far I've added:
Hardwired Vanasche GPS mount and Garmin Zumo XT
SW-Motech PRO side carriers (1/4-turn fasteners and the whole rack comes off - pretty cool!)
SW-Motech aluminum panniers
SW-Motech Sysbags (soft bags that mount on the PRO side carriers for more off-roady trips where you WILL biff it)
SW-Motech tail rack
SW-Motech tailbox
SW-Motech PRO (ring-type) tank bag/extras bag/map holder
Triple Clamp steering head instrument/headlight support
KTM Power Parts levers
KTM enlarged sidestand foot
KTM headlight protector
KTM OEM centerstand
Touratech folding mirrors (for the inevitable biff)
Puig orange sportscreen (had to order that color from Italy)
Bikemaster black swingarm spools
MotoMojoSport orange (of course) valve caps (a little bling yes BUT very functional as it's easy to find them now against the black rims for airing down and airing up offroad)

I think my favorite thing about the bike is how well it does everything I've thrown at it, from 100mph on the freeway, to riding twisty paved canyon roads, to ripping along on rutted and bumpy dirt roads and trails FAR better and faster than any 465lb "dirtbike" has a right to.

I think my fave ride was this last Sunday. I only put about 100mi on over 4 hours, but I did about 60 miles in the dirt, and covered the greatest distance in the dirt and she was flawless. Pretty awesome scenery along the way though the road wasn't very "technical". The first pic is on the same road, but the weekend before trying out the panniers and tail box, the bottom 2 I took it all off.

I want to submit my 2017 S1000RR Premium but I haven't had time to type up a list of mods...ok...so I just did...

To the favorite memory question, I have ridden this bike for 3 track days total at the end of last season, then parked it in the trailer. I don't have much time on it yet, but of the time I have had it, I loved during the last track day playing with the traction control. It is a really powerful bike. The suspension was tuned for me before I had a single minute of riding time, so I really did enjoy riding it. It is simply up to me to brake later and get more comfortable with it, and the lap times will continue to shrink.

@ZZZ sorry about that - I missed the 3 picture max.

Excess pictures have been removed
I added a bunch of other mods to the list that I had previously forgotten.

Just thought I'd bust your ballz a little, and hate to see you taken out of the running just because you have more than 3 pics. :) Might want to dump the vids too, not sure how picky they are about it being a "picture". Nice bike, best of luck!

My favorite memory with the k67 is when me and 2 other forum members where on the highway last year towards the beginning of when this covid crap was going on but the highways were empty and we all got to really see what these bikes can do. Some of my favorite aspects of the k67 is the technology/ big beautiful tft display and the fact that the bike always puts a big smile on my face
