Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 GT 2020

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology
