BMW K 1600 B 2022

BMW K 1600 B 2022

The BMW 6-cylinder glides over the road in 2022 with a lot of elegance and a lot of equipment. This time, the new headlight technology was outstanding. The engine tuning and the new ESA chassis are also well done this time. Surprisingly, the wind protection is not perfect and perfectionists will miss an adaptive cruise control. The sovereign 6-cylinder is in the form of its life in the current model year. One enjoys the engine in every situation. The K 1600 B looks much more relaxed than the K 1600 GT, but it is agile enough to be a lot of fun on intensive tours. It loses only a little of its agility and lean angle freedom due to its coolness and remains a practical motorbike.

Great combination of casual seating position and dynamic handling

Smooth engine

Great engine response

Motorcycle accessible and easy to use overall despite imposing appearance

Outstanding headlight technology

Great display - always easy to read

Comprehensive integration of mobile phone into vehicle

Full map navigation via BMW Connected App

Good balance between stability and handling

Neutral ride

Good brakes and stable ride

Good handling

Good handling.

Connection from mobile phone to vehicle works well in most cases - but when things go wrong it gets annoying

buttons and switches in the cockpit are not backlit

no adaptive cruise control - which you would expect from a touring motorbike in this league

mobile phone compartment snagged from time to time during the test - be careful when stuffing in mobile phones that are too large.
