presentation of the K 1600 Grand America 2018
The K 1600 series represents not only the pinnacle of BMW touring, but also a top-ranking definition in the motorcycling world. The K 1600 B variant clearly has its eye on the States, with its Bagger definition, which is very much in vogue there. It's time to think bigger and further ahead. With its extra luggage and comfort, it's ready to take on the biggest highways. This BMW K 1600 couldn't be more aptly named: Grand America.
the K 1600 B is distinguished by a receding stern line. The design remains the same, but the rear is no longer airy, as a top-case is installed on board. There's no longer any question of traveling light: you can take along everything you need to extend your stay. This hold is equipped with a brake light to enhance visibility. This perfectly complements the luminous signage in the suitcases.
The in-line 6-cylinder engine remains the same piece of vigor and nobility as on the other K 1600s. A copious 160 hp and 17.8 mkg are on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly. On the Grand America, it's not its strength but its momentum that is restrained. BM has limited the top speed to 162 km/h.

a beautiful plaque in the middle of the fuel tank underlines the machine's proud side. With the Style package, it's easy to switch to a dignified look. A two-tone dress covers the Grand America superbly, lined with chrome on the front fender.
The BM fleet is now complete: two high-class GTs for the old continent, and two baggers for the new.
