GENERAL
INFORMATION
Gran Turismo. Travel in big style. That means combining dynamic
performance and comfort – and transforming distance into free space. BMW
Motorrad’s vision was the essence of this philosophy – the pure sense of Gran
Turismo. This vision has now taken shape in the new K 1600 GT. The
in-line six-cylinder engines by BMW are legendary. A myth which has been
realized once more in the K 1600 GT – but now more compactly than ever before.
1,649 cc, 160 hp and a maximum torque of 129 foot pounds. Even the facts are impressive.
But the riding experience is even more inspiring. The transversely installed
power units delivers an extraordinary level of dynamic performance as well as
refined running smoothness. If the rider is in the mood for a show of sporty
prowess, the engine willingly puts in a burst of speed even in the lower engine
speed range, and it is in its element over high-speed stretches. Over 70% of
the maximum torque is available from just 1,500 rpm. While the bike’s power
reserves are huge, its dimensions are reduced. Weighing just under 227 pounds and with a
width of 21.8 inches
– never was a large-volume in-line six-cylinder so compact. For outstanding
handling and increased banking freedom. And a whole new touring bike feel. For
better visibility going into bends, the GT presents a world premiere for motorcycles:
the optionally available adaptive headlight. It not only increases the
exclusivity but also the active safety of the machine. Vision fulfilled. The K
1600 GT. UNSTOPPABLE TOUR.
