BMW K1600GTL
Ever since BMW Motorrad presented
the concept study Concept 6 in autumn 2009, the new 6-cylinder in-line engine
installed in it has caught the imagination of many motorcycle fans. For over
seven decades now, 6-cylinder in-line engines have stood for fascinating engine
technology in automobiles at BMW more than with any other brand. With the new K
1600 GT and K 1600 GTL, BMW motorcycles are now available for the first time
with a 6-cylinder in-line power unit developed in-house. The two touring
motorcycles have a supreme, impressive and equally distinctive appearance,
creating a desire to travel at first sight. In addition to safety, equipment and comfort, prestige and dynamic performance are the key criteria for a supreme touring bike. With the most compact in-line 6-cylinder engine in serial motorcycle production to date, the K 1600 GT and the K 1600 GTL penetrate a whole new dimension in terms of riding properties, long-distance suitability and comfort. They combine maximum agility and riding dynamics with a luxurious overall package. With an engine output of 118 kW (160 bhp) and a maximum torque of 175 Newton metres, their 6-cylinder engine provides superb propulsion in all conditions.
Lightest and most compact serial
production 6-cylinder in-line engine in a motorcycle > 1000 cc. Both the low engine weight and the
consistent lightweight construction of the vehicle as a whole contribute to the
low weight of the vehicle. At 319 kg (K 1600 GT without panniers) and 348 kg (K
1600 GTL with panniers and topcase) the new touring bikes are in the lower range
of the segment.
The control of the central throttle valve with a diameter of 52 millimetres is
effected via an e-gas, also known as a ride-by-wire system. The rider's wishes
are registered by means of a sensor in the accelerator twist grip. The engine
control then adjusts the position of the throttle valve accordingly.
Electronic Suspension Adjustment ESA
II for optimum adaptation to all uses and load states.
Integrated operating concept with
Multi-Controller, TFT colour screen and menu guidance.
Innovative design with outstanding wind and weather protection. BMW K 1600 GT with active riding ergonomics for proactive touring. BMW K 1600 GTL with very comfortable, relaxed ergonomics set-up for long trips
with pillion passenger.
In the K 1600 GT, the body colours
of Light Grey metallic and Vermilion Red metallic create a fascinating contrast
with the frame and wheels in Ostra Grey and the engine in Platinum metallic
matt. The colouring especially highlights the bike's technical components. The
lines are concentrated and give the motorcycle a marked sense of agility. An overview of highlights of the BMW K 1600 GT/ K 1600 GTL: * Three modes to choose from ("Rain", "Road", "Dynamic")
