BMW K 1600 GTL 2011

BMW K 1600 GTL 2011

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 GTL is the right choice for people who like to go on long journeys with two people and do not want to do without any comfort.

Smooth engine

great engine response

motorbike accessible and easy to use overall despite imposing appearance

outstanding headlight technology

Great display - always easy to read

Comprehensive integration of mobile phone into the vehicle

Full map navigation via BMW Connected App

Good balance between stability and handling

Neutral ride

Good brakes and stable ride when braking

Harmonious handling gives a lot of confidence

Connection from mobile phone to vehicle works well in most cases - but when it hangs, it gets annoying

buttons and switches in the cockpit not backlit

wind protection not perfectly solved - draughty feeling in the saddle again and again

no adaptive cruise control - one would expect on a touring motorbike in this league

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