The new BMW K 1600 B was launched at the most celebrated motorcycle enthusiast festival, India Bike Week. The bagger construes motorcycling in the form of endless highways, the dream of freedom and independence. The design of the new BMW K 1600 B embraces the passion for relaxed, luxurious travel on two wheels. The teardrop-shaped silhouette – typical of bagger – reaches the highest point at the front and the wide characteristic styling underlines the undeniable muscularity. The dynamic windscreen lends the motorcycle a greater presence and for effective wind and weather protection, the side sections of the wind deflectors are stretched further back.
The fully chrome-plated silencers with additional chrome covers follow the parallelism of the design concept, fitting in organically with the bagger look. The striking rear section with LED indicators and brake lights integrated into the cases defines the style. Supreme drive power makes travelling long distances on the new BMW K 1600 B a relaxing pleasure. The distinctive BMW Motorrad 6-cylinder in-line engine delivers its performance effortlessly in every situation on the road. The 6-cylinder engine has an output of 160bhp at 7,750 rpm, generating a maximum torque of 175Nm at 5,250 rpm. Whoever sits atop the Bagger will want to ride on. Riders of the new BMW K 1600 B have the riding modes ‘Rain’, ‘Road’ and ‘Dynamic’ directly available to them at the press of a button so as to be able to adapt to different purposes such as road touring, riding on wet surfaces and sporty, dynamic riding.
The traction control function DTC is combined individually with each of the different modes and is fully harmonised with them to ensure maximum riding safety. Whether it is for navigation, connectivity or entertainment, the instrument cluster of the new BMW K 1600 B elevates your sense of freedom. It has two classic circular instruments for the speedometer and engine speed display. The information display on the 5.7-inch TFT colour screen allows attractive visualisation of text fields and graphics, among other things. Elements of the integrated operating concept include the multi-controller and a menu guidance system. The new BMW K 1600 B is available as a Completely Built Unit and can be ordered from BMW Motorrad dealerships at an ex-showroom price of Rs 29 lakh.
