Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1600 B 2020

Unfortunately, our editors did not test this model.

BMW K 1600 GTL 2022

The BMW 6-cylinder glides over the road in 2022 with a lot of elegance and a lot of equipment. This time, the new headlight technology was outstanding. The engine tuning and the new ESA chassis are also well done this time. Surprisingly, the wind protection is not perfect and perfectionists will miss an adaptive cruise control. The sovereign 6-cylinder is in the form of its life in the current model year. One enjoys the engine in every situation. The K 1600 GTL is the right choice for people who like to go on long journeys with two people and do not want to do without any comfort.
