BMW K 1600 GTL Elegance 2017 - Motorcycle specifications

Touring

With the K 1600 GTL, BMW has succeeded in offering a luxurious and slightly sporty vision of Grand Tourism, in 6-cylinder symphony if you please. Majesty, prestigious powertrains, technology: everything about this road-going vessel is top-notch. And one that knows how to update itself with largesse: 2017 brings it fine styling tweaks, semi-active ESA suspension, more protection, gloveboxes, and in the options department, a reverse gear and emergency call system.

the Elegance version in the catalog is distinguished by its Ebony metallic/Black storm metallic color, embellished by a few touches of chrome. The chrome covers the aerodynamic deflectors at the top of the machine's shoulders and on the front mudguard. In short, a touch of elegance to justify the name.

owners will be most interested in the high performance of this top-of-the-range asphalt yacht. 160 horses sing loud and clear in a 6-instrument melody. The only thing left to consider is the substantial entry price, soon to be complemented by a number of highly attractive options.

FABRICE 1150 GS Model 2017

Impressive at first glance, but easier to ride than my K1200LT. It reminds me of a GS. It's a Swiss Army knife like the GS, but with 160hp. It's comfortable and easy to handle, and it's got THIS ENGINE: a bewitching 6-cylinder! 04/02/2022 09:01 Rating : 5/5 Respond to FABRICE 1150 GS
