Motorcycle of excellence in the field of Grand Touring with a sporty touch, the BMW K 1600 GTL further raises its level of luxury in this Exclusive version. She takes the opportunity to unveil certain exclusives and innovations. All in a class that only the Bavarian brand can distil without sinking into tinsel or have you seen me.
The K 1600 GTL is a blend of 6-cylinder symphony, technique and opulence. Equipped as standard with 160 horsepower, a copious torque of 17.8 mkg of which more than 12 available as soon as the throttle has turned 2 mm, and 3 piloting modes, it only needed the bottom of the horn for savor the abundance. Here is thing accomplished. Exclusive here means additional equipment that we should detail a bit.
I will give you thanks to the instrumentation a bit touched up and additional chrome touches. Instead, let’s take care of the passenger, who is the big winner of this version +. The Exclusive takes care of its comfort with kindness: the seat is longer, wider, a pair of armrests attaches to the top-case as well as a heated backrest in the lower part. For the pilot, the delicacies are more technical. It is especially on the electronics side that it is getting stronger. A selection of items from the options catalog is installed as standard here. It starts with traction control, then the crew will be able to take advantage of the ESA II piloted suspension, back to the pilot with tire pressure control and a plethora of solutions behind the headlight glass. These are of the self-adapting directional type with xenon lighting, LED daytime running lights and supported by a duo of additional projectors on the sides of the fairing. The daytime running light switches on automatically via a light sensor, or can replace the main headlight by manual action by the driver. In addition, at nightfall or entering a tunnel, the motorcycle automatically switches to the headlight.
2016 offers small bonuses: ABS Pro is part of the standard equipment. This improved anti-lock braking system varies the brake pressure according to various parameters (angle grip, lateral acceleration, angle of rotation). Thus, the more the bike is on the angle, the less the jaws are used, in order to avoid losing the front in a curve..
There is also the Control Brake Light, a system that flashes the brake light more or less quickly depending on the intensity of emergency braking, with the warning light coming on at the end of the deceleration phase. This way, those behind can assess if you are pinching more or less like a deaf person and if it sucks in front..
That’s all ? No, chips and sensors can be asked for even more. Like the Hill Start Control system, which facilitates hill starts. Once activated, the gadget blocks the front brake via the ABS and the motorcycle can quietly wait on the slope. Slam a gear or apply the brake and the system disengages. Ah yes, watch out, this is not a parking brake; if you park the motorcycle on a hill with this process, you are not sure if you will find it standing once the ignition is off.
Did you see the key? Hhhuummm, it smacks of additional functions. And they are called the DWA anti-theft system and the Keyless Ride system. Once the key is less than 2 meters from the motorcycle (therefore, in the pocket, the backpack or the curlers of the lady), the entire motorcycle unlocks itself: the steering, the contact, the fuel flap and central locking. No need to put the key in the hatch to open it: just pull the lever.
Luxury is also the things that know how to hide or be better without being visible. Like the radio antenna now hidden in the top case or the paint applied in 4 layers. What we digest less is that the GPS is still in the catalog of accessories. The latter has also considerably reduced.
The pinnacle of the BMW Motorrad range, this K 1600 GTL pushes very far from the level of refinement, a true showcase of Grand Touring motorcycle. These qualities will be negotiated at a firm price, but to find better, it will be very hard..
