2024 BMW K1600 Grand America: EXPERIENCE EVERY MILE OF AMERICA.
Introducing the 2024 BMW K1600 Grand America…
The engine of the K1600 Grand America is happy to go the extra mile. In this process, it reacts so precisely and confidently to your commands that you can already feel it looking forward to the next corner and or straight every time: this is how legendary smoothness and performance feel. Thanks to the revised engine control unit 160 hp rated output is achieved 1,000 rpm earlier while the increased maximum torque of 132.7 lbs-ft is now generated at 5,250 rpm. Consequently, you can whiz past the landscape with a twist of your wrist. The richer torque characteristic provides a relaxed cruising feeling. The engine drag torque control (dynamic engine brake control) and Dynamic ESA help provide stability. And the Ride Modes are more focused for noticeably more riding fun – whether alone with a passenger.
You will experience every mile more intensively with the K1600 Grand America. And yet you’ll never get enough: thanks to the standard additional headlight and the full LED headlight with adaptive headlight, you can now travel more confidently than ever before, even at night. Thanks to its swivel function, the light cone remains constant and adapts seamlessly when you lean into corners. After all, what’s better than maintaining sight of the horizon even in the dark? The standard audio system 2.0 also opens new dimensions. Apart from intuitive menu navigation and numerous sound profiles, there is not much to see: the antennas have been concealed. This makes enjoying the music even more impressive. Just what you expect!
Six-cylinder in-line engines have been in integral part of BMW’s motorcycle line-up since the introduction of the original K1600 in 2010, The BMW K1600 represents the ultimate interpretation of high-performance, luxurious touring and cruising. The K1600 GT represents the agile, dynamic variant of the six-cylinder lineup, while the K1600 GTL with its more comfortable ergonomics and standard top case focuses more on longer distance riding.
Traveling in pairs means experiencing every mile twice. Makes sense, right? However, with the K1600 Grand America you will experience more. Its six-cylinder engine lets you casually cruise towards the horizon: well equipped with footboards, a top case featuring a backrest and high windscreen. As a result, it won’t be easy to say which was the most beautiful moment of the tour at the end of each day. Still, the stories about every mile will feel at least twice as good. Simply put: #RideAndShare.
The K1600 B provides low-slung “streamliner” bagger styling accompanied by its moto “The Spirit of the Open Road”. It represents elegance, power and luxury on two wheels to allows the rider to experience every road, every tour and every moment. Derived from the K1600 B, the K1600 Grand America combines the superior performance of the six-cylinder in-line engine with exclusive equipment features that make long-distance rides an experience that is as comfortable as it is exhilarating, for both rider and passenger.
