Overview
The 2016 BMW K 1600 GT is a touring motorcycle powered by a naturally aspirated 1,649 cm³, four-stroke in-line six. It produces 160 hp (119 kW) at 7,750 rpm and 175 Nm of torque at 5,250 rpm; its wet weight is 332 kg.
The 175 Nm peak arrives well below the power peak, giving the engine strong torque before it reaches its highest output. The 24 L tank provides a calculated range of about 369 km at 6.5 L/100 km, while the 810 mm seat height and 332 kg wet weight are important factors when stopping or maneuvering at low speed. Shaft final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust, and ABS is fitted to the double front discs and single rear disc.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
The shaft drive removes the need to clean and adjust a chain.
ABS on both ends
ABS-equipped front and rear brakes help control braking when traction is limited.
Useful tank range
The 24 L tank gives a calculated range of about 369 km, reducing the frequency of fuel stops on a ride.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 332 kg wet, the motorcycle takes deliberate effort to maneuver in tight spaces or at walking pace.
Fuel stops still matter
Fuel consumption of 6.5 L/100 km gives a calculated range of about 369 km on a full tank, so longer rides require planning around fuel stops.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
