BMWK1600GTL 2015 - 2016

　　The BMW K1600GTL was a fully faired luxury tourer presented at the 2010 Intermot Motorcycle Show in Cologne and released into the touring world in 2011. The bike replaced the K1200LT and was intended as a competitor to the Honda Gold Wing.

　　In addition to the K1600GTL, the maker also made available the K1600GT, which was a more sport-touring-oriented machine similar to the K1300GT and previous K1200GT models. Also, in 2016, both models were joined by the BMW K1600B.

　　In 2015, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1600GTL, a luxury machine with ergonomics designed for long touring hauls, with a pulled-back handlebar for a more relaxed riding position and a sizeable seating area for the passenger.

　　In the visual department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a mid-sized windscreen for better protection, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a top case with an integrated passenger backrest, side-mounted panniers for more storage, and a dual exhaust system with a large muffler on each side.

　　As for power, the 2015 BMW K1600GTL had its soul brought to life by a 1,649cc four-stroke liquid-cooled six-cylinder engine managed by an electronically-controlled fuel injection system, boasting 159 hp with a peak force at 7,500 rpm and 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) torque at 5,000 rpm.

　　In the braking department, the bike's Y-shaped five-spoke wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front and a 320 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
