Features

Features

  • ENTHRALLING ENGINE: An engine like a legend. And is there anything better than bringing legends to life with a spin? Its smoothness, superior character and performance values simply remain impressive.
  • INTEGRATED SMARTPHONE CHARGING COMPARTMENT: You should reach the destination set in the navigation, not the end of your smartphone’s battery: the splash-proof and specially ventilated charging compartment features a USB-C connection.
  • CONFIGURABLE FAVORITE BUTTONS: It’s great to have everything at hand when you’re away from home: you can assign your favorite functions to the four buttons.
  • BRILLIANT 10.25" TFT DISPLAY: The 10.25" TFT color display with integrated map navigation and connectivity opens up new worlds for you, not only in terms of readability, menu navigation and operating concept.
  • GENEROUS LUGGAGE AND STORAGE SPACE: Cases and top case offer enough space for everything you need on your journey and there is plenty of room for those mementos that you won't want to be without when you’re back at home.
  • POWERFUL LED HEADLIGHTS: Make discoveries and see the world in new light – thanks to the new, full LED headlight with adaptive headlight, you can interpret this idea quite literally.
  • SOUND-ENHANCING AUDIO SYSTEM 2.0: A special sound experience that is included in the standard scope offers outstanding interaction and the right backdrop for your traveling experience. In addition, it is intuitive to use and features menu navigation.
  • Athletic, dynamic and superior, the K 1600 GTL represents exclusive and comfortable traveling. However, our design standards go even further: being connected to each other, reading maps, reaching your destination as a team along the most beautiful routes. The 10.25" TFT color display of the K 1600 GTL is the right companion for this purpose. Its full-screen mode offers a fully interactive map view for navigation with the BMW Motorrad Connected app: for cockpit navigation like you have never experienced it before. In split screen mode, on the other hand, you can rely on several functions at the same time, and you are able to control them in a straight-forward way using the multi-controller.
  • How do legends come about and how do they travel around the world? With the K 1600 GTL’s six-cylinder engine, the answer is clear: by traveling. Its character and performance are legendary, yet tangible. And thanks to the revised engine control unit, the torque is now even more powerful than before. The motorcycle develops the 160 hp rated output 1,000 rpm earlier, at 6,750 rpm. Engine drag torque control (dynamic engine brake control) and Dynamic ESA help provide stability and are optimally adapted to the more emotionally designed Ride Modes: for focused performance touring.
