Australia Gets Advanced Sneak Peek At BMW K 1600 GTL

BMW Motorrad today announced an exclusive opportunity for customers and enthusiasts to gain a sneak preview of the brand’s new six-cylinder BMW K 1600 GTL in Australia, ahead of its official international launch date.

Over the coming months, the ground-breaking K 1600 GTL will go on a national tour, visiting select Australian BMW Motorrad Dealers, with the bike due to launch in Australia mid-year.

The revolutionary new K 1600 GT and GTL sees the introduction of a new light-weight, compact in-line six-cylinder power unit, developed and produced in-house by BMW Motorrad. The transversely mounted engine is by far the lightest serially produced six-cylinder in-line motorcycle engine, for motorcycles in the class > 1000 cc.

The smooth 6 cylinder engine produces output of 118 kW and maximum torque of 175 Newton metres. Over 70 per cent of the maximum torque is available from 1 500 rpm.

As a virtually unique “mega-tourer”, the K 1600 GTL places a strong emphasis on active safety due to standard BMW Motorrad Integral ABS and Dynamic Traction Control for maximum safety when accelerating. Suspension set-up can be varied with three modes to choose from (“Rain”, “Road”, “Dynamic”).

Electronic Suspension Adjustment ESA II is also available for optimum adaptation to all uses and load states and road conditions.
In another world first, the K 1600 offers optional Adaptive Headlights for increased safety at night in conjunction with the standard xenon headlamp and fibre optic rings.

As the K 1600 models are not expected to arrive for sale on Australian shores for several months, customers and enthusiasts are urged to contact BMW Motorrad on [email protected] to register their interest in being one of the first to see this revolutionary bike in the metal.
