The BMW K1600GTL and K1600GT are touring motorcycles announced by BMW Motorrad in July 2010, for production in 2011. The K1600GTL is a full dress luxury tourer intended to compete with the Honda Goldwing. The K1600GT is more of a sport tourer similar to the existing K1300GT and previous K1200GT models. The bikes feature a new 1649 cc (100.6 cu in) straight-six engine which is mounted transversely across the chassis. The engine is angled forward by 50°. The engine was originally used on the Concept 6, a concept bike that was shown at the 2009 EICMA Milan Motor Show. BMW claims that the engine at 560 mm (22 in) wide, just 67 mm (2.6 in) wider than the K1300 engine, is the narrowest six-cylinder engine ever produced. Cylinder bore is 67.5 mm (2.66 in) and the distance between cylinder centres 77 mm (3.0 in).[3] The camshaft is hollow, with cam lobes pressed on, which saves around 2 lb (0.91 kg). The engine has electronic throttle control and multiple drive modes which can be set according to road conditions. New technology for BMW on these models include adaptive headlamps which adjust up or down according to how the bike is pitched in order to keep the beam flat, and left or right as the bike tilts to turn.
Nice bike! Lucky you.
Video is great!
Quality of the scenes and of the video format is excellent!
Thanx guys! …a really good presentation of a bike of such a great style!
But maybe in some scenes a cool Andrea soft soundtrack would make the 8 min of the video flow as the bike does on that mountain…
720p isn’t full HD.
Congratulations on your purchase of a new Goldwing. I rode them both, and liked them both but I ordered the GTL. But I’m also trading a Harley V Rod so my reference point is different than yours. I felt the GTL had the torque that I was used to with the V Rod and looked sportier than the Goldwing. But everybody is attracted to something different, thank goodness.
Tested:
2012 Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Limited
2012 Honda Goldwing, XM, Navigation, ABS, Airbag
2012 BMW K1600 GTL
Purchased:
2012 Honda Goldwing XM, Navigation, ABS, Airbag.
The BMW was smoother than the Harley, but not as nice as the Goldwing. The Goldwing outperformed the BMW in every aspect and looks much nicer too.
dear santa
Full HD means 1080p! And even on 720p (HD) you are broadcasting just stretched 480p resolution as 720p, so stop lying about your titles just to get better clicks!
Besides it is a shame that BMW put a good given six cylinder steamhammer-engine into a couch with two weals! What a dissipation…
CHUPA PIJA NEGRO PUTO LA CONCHA DE TU MADRE OLOR A CULO GIL GUACHO LOGI we XD
My test drive was awesome @Louisville Ky I believe the bike in this video was wrecked by one of us test driving. handles like a dream and powerful stable at all speeds despite its weight.
Sechs -y time!
why for pete’s sake did they cut the car in half???

Good video, beautiful bike, exhaust note needs to sound powerful, louder and still refined. I want to ride it!
You don’t really need all that noise of Mr.Akra on a tour. It’s just annoying on a long ride. The six has a pleasant smooth sound
This film was made in Portugal (Serra da Estrela).
