Motorcycle specifications BMW K 1600 GTL Elegance 2017 To enhance presentations
presentation of the K 1600 GTL Elegance 2017
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.
