The new K and F models from BMW have in oil multi plate clutch like Japanese motorcycles and thus there is the clunk, because there is still friction in the opened clutch.
The old K models (flying brick) and R models have a dry, automotive like clutch.
Because it is dry, there is no friction between the plates, when open, there is no clunk, when you shift into 1. gear at halt.
Now, when riders change from an old K or R with dry clutch to a new K1600 or K1300 or F800, there is the clunk now, which they don't know from their older K model or R. For sure there is more discussion.
