WANDERLUST ON TWO WHEELS.

Description

WANDERLUST ON TWO WHEELS.

This is what the world looks like from the saddle of the new K 1600 GT: On the move, gaining impressions, experiencing new things while on a relaxed yet dynamic and pleasing ride. Its 6-cylinder in-line engine is already considered an icon with its power delivery and running smoothness, and now it offers you even more touring comfort. Thanks to wind and weather protection equipment, this bike is always ready for long distance touring when you are. When riding the K 1600 GT, you leave quite an impression regardless of whether you are at a standstill or on the move.

Dynamics for the eye as well.

The dynamics and comfort characteristics of the K 1600 GT are also reflected in the design: BMW Duolever front suspension, Xenon headlight with Dynamic Leveling, and a powerful 6-cylinder engine are among the features that make this high quality motorcycle a true standout. The front and side views are athletic and sharp to ensure a sporty, streamlined appearance. The 6-into-2 mufflers reflects the breadth of the 6-cylinder engine both visually and acoustically.

The remarkable appearance of the K 1600 GT is supported by the high-quality paint finish. From exclusively discreet to sportily dynamic, you decide what suits you.

First-class six-pack.

The legendary in-line six-cylinder engine turns every ride into pure enjoyment. Thanks to extremely smooth acceleration and power delivery, its dynamic performance is unmatched. 160 hp and 129 lb-ft of torque provide effortless thrust. The smallest movement of the throttle results in an immediate response while providing the superior control and handling.

Extensive standard equipment.

The equipment that comes on the standard K 1600 GT model is of the highest quality, and encompasses a wide range of features to suit the needs of most riders. The features include ABS Pro, which ensures safe braking even when leaning, the innovative xenon headlight, and the multi-controller. The most recent addition to standard production is Dynamic ESA. The chassis recognizes changes in road conditions and riding style and controls the damping action in milliseconds based on feedback from the lean-angle sensor and control units. In doing so, it ensures the best damper settings in various riding situations. Even when leaning into turns, superior damping comfort and stability is achieved.

Features may include:

  • Striking Xenon headlights.

So you can see and be seen better.

  • 3 Ride Modes.

Come as standard.

  • Innovative, easy to read cockpit.

With two round instrument clusters and a large 5.7 inch TFT display.

  • Electrically adjustable windshield.

Provides the highest level of wind protection and functionality.

  • A great many visual details.

Details like the redesigned badge holder set exclusive accents.

  • Slipstream deflector.

Can be folded outwards if required and ensure temperatures resembling those at the height of summer for a clearly noticeable airstream.

  • Six-cylinder in-line engine.

Weighing only 226.2 pounds and only 21.9 inches wide, it is particularly light and compact.

  • Watertight storage compartments.

Can be opened and closed with the optionally available central locking system.
