The BMW K 1600 GTL represents both these elements. It offers performance touring that leaves no wishes unfulfilled. Its powerful six-cylinder engine now delivers dynamism and superior character: thanks to the comfortably designed vehicle geometry, you can enjoy every mile. – The cockpit has also been redesigned. it has been entirely geared towards interaction with you so you can enjoy every tour even more consciously and intensively. Because traveling together starts here – truly in the spirit of #RideAndShare.
