BMW K1600GTL Exclusive (2015-2016) Specs, Performance & Photos

The 2015 BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive was addressed to luxury enthusiasts and Beemer fans who wanted the highest level of comfort, as well as long-haul capabilities, in a machine with a power output comparable to a sports bike.

On the K 1600 GT models, BMW introduced the first six-cylinder engine produced by the House of Munich in a sophisticated new chassis. Wrapped in aerodynamic bodywork, the 1600 GT set a new benchmark for presence, competence, comfort, and safety in the touring motorcycles category.

At the time when BMW introduced the first GT model, the engine was the lightest and narrowest in the over-1000cc category with a weight of 102 kg (224 lbs) and a width of 55 that and could push the model to 0-100 kph (0-60 mph) in just 3.2 seconds.

The 2015 GTL model came with luxurious features such as passenger armrests, LED auxiliary lights, adaptive xenon headlight, and second brake light, as well as state-of-the-art technologies such as the Electronic Suspension Adjustment II, Dynamic Traction Control, and RDC.

At the core of the lightweight aluminum bridge-type frame was the famous 1649cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with an output power of 160 hp at 7,500 rpm and 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm tightly screwed to a six-speed manual transmission. The engine power was sent through a shaft back to the cast aluminum rear wheel.
