Overview
The BMW K 1600 GTL is a touring motorcycle represented here by its 2022 model year. Its naturally aspirated 1,649 cm³ inline-six produces 160 hp (119 kW) at 6,750 rpm and 180 Nm at 5,250 rpm; wet weight is 357.9 kg.
The engine’s peak torque arrives before peak power, giving the GTL substantial pull through the middle of its rev range. A 750 mm seat height makes it easier for many riders to reach the ground, while the 357.9 kg wet weight can make low-speed maneuvering demanding. The 26.5 L tank and 5.7 L/100 km fuel consumption correspond to a calculated full-tank range of about 465 km. Body-color saddle bags and a top box provide built-in touring storage, and shaft drive avoids chain cleaning and adjustment.
