Enhancing details like the footrests has helped put the final touches on its exquisite look. Distinctive elements such as Duolever front wheel suspension, the highly visible straight-six engine, the innovative Xenon headlight and the chassis remain pioneers of style. Together with the redesigned front section, including mirror and windscreen, a uniquely elegant and dynamic line management has been achieved. The three premium varnishes add an exclusive character to your bike.


This luxurious, comprehensive package does not only boast a first-class design, it is also an enticingly engaging ride for the roads ahead.

Superior 6-cylinder engine.

A first-class engine: the legendary six-cylinder inline engine offers an unparalleled smooth ride and the most outstanding riding performance in the luxury tour sector. Its 118 kW (160 hp) output and maximum torque of 175 Nm at 5250 rpm supplies the perfect dynamic thrust forward. And 70 % of the torque are already achieved at 1500 rpm.
The standard equipped Dynamic ESA adds a new dimension to your riding experience. Within milliseconds, the highly-sensitive sensor box detects riding conditions and regulates the damper in the suspension. This guarantees the ideal damper settings in any riding situation. Even at an incline, levels of damping comfort that were previously unimaginable have now been achieved, resulting in an extremely steady ride. The K 1600 GTL now comes standard equipped with a total of three riding modes and DTC. Switch between the Rain, Road and Dynamic riding modes at the simple touch of a button. Select Dynamic mode, for example, for a fast and active riding performance.
An obstacle that suddenly appears can cause any rider to brake on reflex. The standard equipped ABS Pro guarantees safe braking even on inclines, and allows riders to keep control of the motorcycle in tricky situations.
The bike with never-ending features – luxurious equipment as standard.

Have a seat and relax.

The K 1600 GTL also offers unprecedented comfort. Its enticing features include an enormous amount of space and excellent accessibility. Carefully thought-out and easily accessible storage space solutions focus on the comfort of the rider, making the K 1600 GTL an uncompromising choice in touring quality. Riding with a partner on a long journey is a true pleasure thanks to a variety of detailed solutions such as central locking, heated seat, an electrically adjustable windscreen and a range of seat heights.

The multi-controller handling concept is essential, allowing riders to switch functions comfortably without removing their hands from the handlebars or their eyes from the road.
