Experience the thrill of the open road with the 2016 BMW K1600GTL ABS. Designed with a six-cylinder in-line engine, this four-stroke marvel boasts four valves per cylinder, delivering powerful performance for passionate riders. With a torque of 175 Nm at 5,250 rpm, every ride promises adrenaline-fueled enjoyment.
The premium motorcycle is equipped with a 6-speed transmission with helical gear teeth, ensuring smooth, responsive gear shifts. The liquid cooling system regulates internal temperature, boasting the bike’s longevity. The vehicle smoothly roars into life with its convenient electric starter, outputting a power of 118 kW.
The model’s intricacies lay in its 72mm bore and 67.5 mm stroke. The multiple-disc clutch in an oil bath guarantees a smooth transition between gear changes while causing minimal friction. Its top-tier electronic engine management system adapts to driving conditions with digital ignition timing adjustment.
Despite its robust design, the bike maintains an eco-conscious stance, with fuel consumption rates of just 5.7 liters per 100 km. While its CO2 emissions data aren’t available, you’ll be reassured with its dry sump lubrication system, offering efficient operation while minimizing environmental impact.
Standing out in its class, the BMW K1600GTL ABS embraces a comprehensive safety suite, including a standard BMW Motorrad ABS system. Its bridge-type frame cast in aluminium welds strength with the load-bearing engine. It also uses dual disc brakes with floating brake discs on the front and a single disc brake on the rear, each with a diameter of 320mm for maximum stopping power.
The motorcycle maintains stability and comfort with the BMW Motorrad Duolever front suspension and a unique central spring strut. It also sports a Paralever for the rear suspension, a 62.2-degree steering head angle, and offers 115 and 135mm of suspension travel in the front and rear respectively.
It is built for the open road, with a generous tank capacity of 26.5 liters, which means fewer fuel stops on those long, winding rides. With a dry weight of 348kg and a seat height of 750mm, it’s no lightweight but promises a truly immersive and comfortable driving experience. Cruise the road and feel the power of the BMW K1600GTL ABS.
