K 1600 GT

Overview

Technical specs

The brand new, six–cylinder engine is perfectly complimented by the ergonomics of the K 1600 GT. Designed to be the ultimate European–style performance touring bike, the key ‘triangle’ between footrests, seat and handlebars on the GT give the rider full control of the bike and still provide a high level of long–distance comfort. Both rider and pillion passenger are provided with ample legroom – but the seating position is gently canted toward the front wheel for a dynamic riding experience. The rider’s seat is height–adjustable allowing it to be adapted to individual needs. And with an amazing range of options fitted as standard to add to this, including LED indicators, xenon headlight, heated grips, heated seats, colour coded panniers and more, the K 1600 ‘Gran Turismo’ is the perfect blend of power, comfort and poise.
