BMW K 1600 GTL 2011

Gratitude spread across the saddle of the K 1600 GTL. It is simply unbelievable that you can rent such a luxury machine for a paltry 90 euros a day from the Highbike Test Centre in Ischgl.

High-quality traction point as well as ABS

resistant tyres

strong brakes

crystal-clear chassis.

Relatively high weight

gearstick could have been optimised a little better.
