Highlights of the K 1600 B

Operability, comfort, safety and performance: Say it like it is with the K 1600 B. Everything has been geared towards you and your travelling experience. In this process, the new lighting technology is absolutely state-of-the-art: thanks to the full LED headlight with adaptive headlight, you can turn night into day like never before, whizzing around bends in a much more dynamic way. The navigation quite literally also sets new standards. In full-screen mode, the display stands out with its 1,920x720 pixels in full HD resolution. You know your ways – but from now on you will also enjoy discovering new ones.

Complete package

With the K 1600, you can always do a little more. Not only in terms of mileage. Thanks to extensive optional equipment and Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, you can turn the bagger into exactly the bike you want. Optionally benefit from the comfort package and tour package. The comfort package features Keyless Ride and shift assistant Pro – for even more relaxed cruising. The tour package, for example, impresses with the audio system 2.0 or comfortable footboards. We have put together two equipment variants to inspire you.

Design code – typically bagger

The K 1600 B is proof that you can perfectly swim against the tide if things are streamlined. The elongated, typical bagger outline with its low rear section combines an elegant, casual character with a powerful presence. The entire bike has been fully geared towards you and your perfect tour: from things that are immediately obvious, such as the footboards, to the equipment you can only experience once you have taken a seat, such as the cockpit. It demonstrates a completely new design idiom: clear-cut and functional. The 10.25" TFT colour display now even features a hardened and anti-reflective cover lens for optimum readability. The K 1600 B leaves everything to you when it comes to experiencing the trip, yet nothing happens by chance.

Superior six-cylinder in-line engine

Can you measure a casual character in numbers? You can with the K 1600 B: thanks to its revamped engine control unit, it now develops the 160 hp nominal power an impressive 1,000 rpm earlier than before, while the increased maximum torque of 180 Nm is already available at 5,250 rpm: for even more intensity, superior tractive force and a more powerful appearance. For every straight line, every overtaking manoeuvre, every bend – or just for you. In keeping with this, the riding modes have now been designed to be even more emotional, with the engine brake control and Dynamic ESA guaranteeing the necessary stability and safety. And all of this is as casual to handle as it sounds.

Sound-enhancing audio system 2.0

The antennas have been concealed, yet the sound is more than just present. Operability and menu navigation also reach an entirely new dimension and are based on your smartphone.

Superior six-cylinder engine

If a demonstration of power and torque gives you goosebumps, we can follow through with some figures: thanks to the revised engine control unit, you will now reach the peak output a whole 1,000 rpm earlier.

Unique paintwork

You'll be cruising in style with the Option 719 Casablanca: its ionic Silver metallic paintwork with hand-painted lines is being applied for the first time.

Integrated smartphone charging storage compartment

Always energised and still completely relaxed: thanks to the splash-proof and specially ventilated charging storage compartment with USB-C connection, your smartphone will always have enough battery charge.

Comfortable floor boards

For a casual appearance on every trip and more comfort on longer journeys.

Powerful headlights

World's best: new full LED headlight with adaptive headlight provides unprecedented illumination. For more dynamic cornering and significantly more safety.

Brilliant 10.25" TFT colour display

Be well informed and keep it that way: integrated map navigation, connectivity, clear-cut menu navigation and intuitive operation.

Configurable Favourites buttons

Whatever you want, get it at the push of a button: use the four buttons and individually configure your favourite functions.
