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.
