2016 BMW K 1600 GTL: The Ultimate Luxury Touring Behemoth

Model 2016 - Mileage 12,000 KM

The King of the Grand Tour

The 2016 BMW K 1600 GTL is the pinnacle of touring luxury, combining a 1,649cc inline-six engine with space-age technology and first-class accommodations. This isn’t just a motorcycle—it’s a two-wheeled luxury liner designed to devour continents with effortless power, whisper-quiet smoothness, and amenities that put most cars to shame. From the adaptive headlight that sees around corners to the massive hard cases that swallow weeks of gear, the K 1600 GTL redefines what’s possible on two wheels.

"The Closest Thing to a Rolls-Royce on Two Wheels."
