BMW K1600GT (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

Presented at the 2010 Intermot Motorcycle Show in Cologne, the K 1600 GT was a motorcycle manufactured by BMW that featured a straight-six engine mounted transversely on the chassis, which was the narrowest in-line six-cylinder unit ever produced.

In 2014, BMW released a new model of the K 1600 GT, the most powerful touring machine manufactured by the House of Munich.

The 2014 GT six-cylinder engine was a perfect match with the ergonomics of the bike. The model was designed by the House of Munich to be the ultimate European-style performance touring bike. The rider had full control of the machine due to the key “triangle” between the footrest, seat, and handlebar, which offered a high level of comfort when traveling long distances.

The 2014 BMW K 1600 GT was built around a light-alloy bridge-type frame that had at its core the power generator of this machine, a 1649cc four-stroke liquid-cooled engine with an asphalt-wrinkling power of 160 hp at 7,750 rpm and 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) of torque at 5,250 rpm. Not to mention that 70 percent of the maximum torque was delivered by the engine from just 1,500 rpm.

At the time of its release, the bike was available in two-color livery, Sakhir Orange Metalic and Black Storm Metalic, which included décor. It also featured Black gloss-coated wheels, a low windshield, and a seat manufactured in a sporty design.
