Best Features at a Glance
Performance and Engine
The K 1600 B has the same inline six-cylinder engine developed in the K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL models. As its name suggests, the model is powered by the 1649cc inline-six. This bike puts out 135 hp at 1,000 rpm in its power band and makes around 116 ft-lb of torque. Its 749 pounds weight doesn't affect its performance. It delivers an immediate, smooth, and sharp throttle response.
The hydraulic clutch facilitates a sublime shift making it difficult to miss a shift. This bagger is reliable enough if you're opting for a spirited ride. It only needs a simple input and body lean to enhance its sport-bike-like performance and touring capability.
Ergonomics
This is one of the tricky features for manufacturers, as riders come in different sizes and shapes. To avoid discomfort, the BMW K 1600 B offers a soft and comfortable ride throughout the journey. It has three seat heights: low, regular, and tall. It's even more comfortable with the taller saddle and footpegs when controlling and balancing the bike at slow speed and during aggressive cornering. More so, it has handlebars with custom looks pulling the controls rearward a few inches.
Aerodynamic Design
The electronically adjustable windscreen is an excellent addition to this model, making it the perfect addition for shorter and regular-sized individuals. If you toggle the button on your left handlebar, the windscreen somehow disappears in the fairing while in its lowest position. This new look complements the bagger aesthetic.
Handling the K 1600 B
The k 1600 B model is simple to handle, with a control dial on its left handlebar. Riders can use the control dial to select between the two suspension settings; the dynamic ESA and ECU suspension. Each mode calibrates a rider's weight and also takes into account in case of additional cargo or passengers.
