K 1600 GTL

The K 1600 GTL is BMW's most-equipped luxury tourer — the same turbine-smooth 1,649cc inline-six as the K 1600 GT with a Tour-Pak top case, upgraded audio, and a lower 29.5-inch seat that makes the premium six-cylinder touring experience accessible to a wider range of rider heights. At 789 lb, low-speed handling demands practice; budget for BMW dealer service as inline-six maintenance complexity is premium.
