The BMW K 1600 GT has undergone a series of upgrades for the 2017 model year, cementing its position as a class-defining touring motorcycle. At its heart lies a potent 1649cc inline-six engine, now Euro4 compliant, yet delivering an unchanged 160bhp and 129ftlb of torque.
The Dynamic ESA semi-active suspension is now standard fitment, offering two distinct modes: Road for optimal coverage and Dynamic for sportier riding conditions. The system is complemented by a reverse assist feature, accessible via a selector button and starter motor, greatly benefiting smaller riders who may struggle with the bike’s 319kg wet weight.
The instrument cluster has received a refresh, featuring new dials with the K 1600 GT logo prominently displayed on the speedometer. Additionally, aerodynamic improvements have been made to the wind deflectors and fairing, enhancing airflow around the bike.
The BMW Intelligent Emergency Call system is now available as an option, automatically dispatching emergency services in the event of a crash and the rider’s inability to contact them. With its impressive list of upgrades, the 2017 BMW K 1600 GT is poised to deliver an exceptional touring experience.
