Features
- DYNAMICS FOR THE EYE AS WELL: The dynamics and comfort characteristics of the K 1600 GT are also reflected in the design: The Duolever front suspension, the xenon headlight with optional Adaptive Headlights, the powerful 6-cylinder engine and the frame make the high-quality overall image really stand out. The front and side views are athletic and sharp to ensure a sporty, streamlined appearance. The 6-in-2 muffler reflects the potential of the 6-cylinder engine both visually and acoustically. The remarkable appearance of the K 1600 GT is supported by the high-quality paint finish: from exclusively discreet to sportily dynamic. You decide what suits you.
- FIRST-CLASS SIX-PACK: The legendary in-line six-cylinder engine turns every ride into pure enjoyment. Thanks to extremely smooth acceleration and power delivery, its dynamic performance is unmatched. 160 hp (118 kW) and 129 lb-ft of maximum torque provide effortless thrust. The smallest movement of the throttle results in an immediate response while providing the superior control and handling.
