New BMW K 1600 B Touring Motorcycle Its Luxury Counterpart

Both new bikes also receive new LED adaptive headlamp as standard equipment, a welcome safety feature that effectively illuminates more of a shadowy turn and adjusts to the bike’s lean angle as well its movement during acceleration or braking. And in the very nice but not crucial category, BMW has also dialed in a bunch of added light functions that brighten the immediate spaces around you when you’re in darkness, and the bike isn’t yet switched on. A “Welcome” light pops on when you start up, and a “Goodbye” light stays on when you switch it off, presumably for an easier dismount. Naturally you get more goodies with the premium Grand America package, like BMW’s new Audio 2.0 system (it’s an option on the K 1600 B). The main thrust of the 2.0 system is that it’s now integrated into the bike’s electrical system, rather than being independent as before. It’s also got several preset profiles, balanced for different scenarios (for instance, one for in-helmet audio, one for without) that BMW says offer a wide range of sound even at highway speeds. Another cool feature is that the radio antennas are integrated into the bodywork. The new K 1600 B and Grand America option will be available in three color options: a standard color, a style variant, and/or with Option 719. The base colors for both are Black Storm Metallic with a black frame, but you can customize from there. BMW says new wheels, seats, auxiliary lighting, and a bigger range of other accessories are ready to go should you want to trick out your rig even more. To contain the transversal dimension, the BMW engineers opted for an engine with a relatively long stroke (67.5 mm) in order to limit the bore (72 mm) and therefore obtain a narrower block. Even more interesting in this regard are the reduction of the distance between the cylinders, limited to only 5 mm against the approximately 10 mm generally in use, and the positioning of the electrical accessories next to the cylinder block and not at the ends of the crankshaft as usual. All these features make it possible to limit the total width of the engine to just 56 cm. For comparison, the 1301 cc in-line 4 of the BMW K1300 measures 50 cm. If we imagine pantographing it up to the 1649 cc of the 6-cylinder, the measurement would rise to 54.1 cm, so we can say that BMW has managed, all other things being equal, to contain the increase in width to a sensational 3.5%. Equally significant is the comparison with the inline 6 of the 1979 Kawasaki Z1300, which despite “only” 1286 cc, is 63.5 cm wide, a good result for the time, but still 27% more than the BMW 4 cylinders of similar volume. Although limited in the maximum power possible by these choices, the BMW 6-cylinder is still capable of 160 HP, more than abundant for a touring bike which, moreover in this new Euro 5 version, is delivered at just 6,750 rpm against the 7,750 claimed of previous releases. Torque is even more interesting, with a maximum peak of 180 Nm at 5,750 rpm, 5 Nm more than in the Euro 3 and 4 versions. The work done by BMW engineers in adapting this engine to the strictest anti-pollution regulations is truly impressive.
