Gran Turismo. This exceptional tourer makes light work of even the longest journeys, and everything about it, from the styling to the suspension, reflects its unique character. It is powered by the most compact in-line six-cylinder production motorcycle engine ever built, a 160-horsepower (118-kilowatt) unit that combines quick throttle responses with unrivalled refinement. With its innovative optional adaptive Headlight, the GT is an outstanding example of motorcycle design in every sense.

BMW in-line six-cylinder engines are a legend in the automotive industry. And now this legend comes to the K1600GT, in its most compact ever form. 1,649 cc, 160 horsepower (118 kilowatts), and maximum torque of 175 newton-metres - the numbers alone are pretty impressive. But that's nothing compared to the riding experience. The transverse-mounted unit is extremely quiet and refined yet also delivers exceptionally dynamic performance. Instantaneous acceleration is available even at low revs, with 70 per cent of its maximum torque available from as little as 1,500 rpm. But if it's big on performance, then it's small in size. Weighing just 102.6 kilograms and measuring just 560 millimetres across, there's never been such a compact high-capacity in-line six-cylinder motorcycle engine. This means excellent handling, making it possible to lean over further into corners, and helps to redefine the touring bike experience.
