K 1600 GT

The K 1600 GT's 1,649cc inline-six provides the smoothest engine in the touring class — turbine-like power delivery that no V-twin or flat-six competitor matches — with Dynamic ESA suspension and standard audio/navigation in a sporting long-distance chassis. The 31.9-inch seat is the tallest in the touring segment; shorter riders should test-sit before committing.
