The first K 1600 generation introduced BMW's exceptionally smooth 1,649 cc inline six. In GT form it is sportier and lighter than the GTL; check the trim name because this family spans several body styles.

The BMW K1600 is a luxury inline-six tourer produced by BMW from 2011, available as the GT (sport tourer) and GTL (luxury tourer). It is powered by a liquid-cooled 1649 cc inline-six producing 160 hp, the only production inline-six in motorcycle format. The result is an exceptionally smooth power unit with a low centre of gravity, combined with integrated panniers, adaptive LED lighting, dynamic ESA suspension and a fully digital cockpit. The K1600 sets a new standard in the long-distance luxury segment.
The K1600 targets experienced touring riders who want the very best: maximum comfort, unlimited range and impressive performance. The model is suited to two-up European touring on extended trips. The weight is substantial but the low centre of gravity largely compensates. Competes with the Honda Gold Wing. A premium investment that holds its value with proper maintenance.
Check the ESA suspension (Dynamic ESA) for correct electronic operation; faulty ESA units are expensive and require dealer diagnostics.
Inspect the inline-six for oil leaks, particularly at valve covers and engine block; the complex engine construction limits self-servicing.
Check integrated panniers and release mechanisms for wear points and lock corrosion.
Ask about the drive shaft condition (K1600 models use shaft drive); replacement is a specialist dealer job.
Check the entire electronic system for fault codes via BMW GS-911 or dealer diagnostics; older examples can accumulate electronic issues.
