BMW K1600GT (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2015 K 1600 GT released by BMW successfully combined the power and agility of a big-bore sports bike with the riding position, comfort, and storage capacity of most touring machines. This made it a favorite among riders who wanted a powerful machine capable of going the extra mile.

The model featured a straight-six engine mounted transversely on the chassis and was the narrowest in-line six-cylinder ever produced. While the engine power reserves are huge, its dimensions were reduced to 555 mm in width, and had a weight of just under 103 kg (227 lbs).

The 2015 BMW K 1600 GT, powered by a 1649cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine, delivered a power of 160 hp at 7,750 rpm and 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) of torque at 5,250 rpm, but 70 percent of the engine’s maximum torque was available just from 1,500 rpm.

As with all the machines from the House of Munich, it had a wide range of optional features and technologies that suited different riding styles and rider needs and ensured optimum performance and stability. One of the unique features offered by the GT was the adapted headlight which came as an optional feature that adjusted the headlight lens to compensate for braking and acceleration variations.

The 2015 model rolled from the manufacturing plant on 17 inches cast aluminum wheels.
