At the extremely top of this evolution is the brand-new K 1600 GTL - an elite touring bike like none prior to it. With the most compact and efficient in-line 6-cylinder engine ever set up in a series production bike. The ergonomics of the K 1600 GTL are developed for long trips and leave nothing to be preferred for either rider or passenger in terms of comfort. The slim design in the location of the rider's seat and the fact that the handlebars reach far back enables a relaxed seating position - for hours and over hundreds of miles. The pillion passenger enjoys a sizable seating area and a comfortable backrest.
