K 1600 GT and GTL prices

BMW Motorrad has announced UK prices and specifications for its six-cylinder K 1600 GT and GTL super-tourers, ahead of their showroom launch on 19 March.





The recommended retail prices are shown for each of the four available versions. These include VAT and delivery, but dealer on-the-road charges will be extra.





K 1600 GT - £14,950



Standard specification:

· ABS

· Self-levelling Xenon headlight

· LED indicators and brake light

· Heated grips

· Heated seats

· Optional low seat

· E-Gas with three engine power modes

· Cruise control

· 5.7” high quality LCD dashboard display

· Electronically adjustable screen

· Colour-matched panniers

· Centre stand





K 1600 GT SE - £15,765



Standard specification, in addition to K 1600 GT:

· Adaptive Headlight

· Tyre Pressure Control

· Dynamic Traction Control





K 1600 GTL - £16,515



Standard specification, in addition to K 1600 GT:

· Integrated audio system

· Comfort windshield

· Colour coded top box

· Comfort footrests

· Chrome body kit





BMW K 1600 GTL E - £17,315



Standard specification, in addition to K 1600 GTL:

· Adaptive Headlight

· Tyre Pressure Control

· Dynamic Traction Control





The options list shouldn't be too extensive given the already high equipment levels, but it will include a GPS navigation system and Electronic Suspension Adjustment II.





Drawing up a list of direct competitors for the K 1600 - in terms of specs, price, concept or technology - is pretty much impossible.



An obvious candidate would be the six-cylinder Honda Gold Wing but, at £23,125, it costs way more than the BMW.



The £18,395 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Classic is much closer on price and yes, it is a touring bike. Apart from that though, it’s a very different animal which generally appeals to a totally separate customer base.
