BMW Motorrad has today presented the technology at the heart of the forthcoming K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL touring motorcycles.

Introduced at BMW Motorrad’s new premises in Munich, these two new touring motorcycles include elements of the Concept 6 study, introduced in Autumn 2009, and of BMW’s seven-decade heritage of using in-line six cylinder engines in performance cars.

  • This new, internally-developed engine develops 118kW (160bhp) and 175 Nm (129lb.ft) of torque.
  • Over 70% of maximum torque is available from 1,500 rpm.
  • It is the lightest and most compact six-cylinder in-line engine in serial motorcycle production, weighing just 102.6 kg and measuring 560 mm in width.
  • It features DTC (Dynamic Traction Control) for maximum safety when accelerating (optional extra).
