BMW K1600GTL Review

BMW K1600GTL overview 

The BMW K1600GTL has been dubbed the “super-tourer” and it is one of the best bikes on the market, especially if you’re looking for comfort and speed above all else. This engine uses a water cooling system to stop the 1649cc overheating and its six cylinders display an impressive 160hp, with torque being 129 pound to foot. This bike is very, very fast. Not only is it fast, it has the potential to be the most comfortable bike in the world with its add-on giving it a completely luxurious overhaul.

At first glance the changes may not be noticeable but, if you look closely you will see that the body, including the new, flat sides, has been reshaped to redirect the air over the bike to enhance airflow but minimise turbulence and resistance. Its more aerodynamic shape, complete with a redesigned nose, can be seen in its mirrors that are designed for maximum use and to enhance airflow while its famous electronic screen is wider and taller.

Another new aspect of the BMW K1600GTL is the Gear Shift Assist Pro system; this lets the rider shift gears without the use of clutch. It allows users to blast through as a quickshifter while accelerating and it automatically blips the changes on the way back down the gears. It is usually a key feature on a sports bike but, in this instance, it works in synergy with the BMW K1600GTL.

Overall, this is the ultimate tour bike and major improvements have been made to ensure that it has the power and key tools to make life easier for the rider.
