2011 BMW K1600GTL

BMW is well known for their smooth, powerful inline 6-cylinder engines. No other brand has embraced the inline-6 as much or taken it as far. Well, now BMW takes it to a place even they haven't been to yet. While already well known for building comfortable long distance touring machines, BMW has taken it to a whole new level with this bike, the K 1600 GTL. Just looking at this bike makes me want to take off and not stop riding until I'm in the next time zone. Everything about it screams road trip! Especially the fuel-injected 1,649cc inline-6 engine which puts out 160-horsepower. Its narrow 72-millimeter cylinder bores, with just 5-millimeters between them, help keep the width to under 22-inches, barely wider than a typical 4-cylinder. Overall weight of the bike is 776 pounds. While heavy, that's significantly less than a typical cruiser-based touring machine. But just because a motorcycle weighs 776 pounds doesn't mean it has to feel awkward. It's all about good design and balance. And even at slower speeds the K 1600 GTL is easily maneuvered. You don't feel disconnected from the front end at all, as on some previous K touring bikes. As speeds increase, the weight melts away, and the GTL feels like a much smaller bike.
