Fitment and Installation Notes for the BMW K1600 GT – GTL 2011-2024
Fitting the bmw k1600 gt – gtl 2011-2024 exhaust is a straightforward job for any competent home mechanic or dealer workshop.

We always recommend allowing the engine to fully cool down before beginning any exhaust work.

The BMW K1600GT, K1600GTL, K1600B are motorcycles manufactured by BMW Motorrad. The former two were announced in July 2010, unveiled at the Intermot motorcycle show in Cologne in October 2010; they went on sale in March 2011. The latter was announced in October 2016. The K1600GTL is a full dress luxury tourer, which replaces the K1200LT. It is intended to compete with the Honda Gold Wing. The K1600GT is more of a sport-tourer similar to the existing K1300GT and previous K1200GT models. The K1600B is a bagger designed primarily for the North American market.
Technology
The bikes feature a new 1,649 cc (100.6 cu in) straight-six engine which is mounted transversely across chassis.[11] The cylinders are angled forward by 55°. The engine was originally used on the Concept 6, a concept bike that was shown at the 2009 EICMA Milan Motor Show. BMW claims that the engine, which at 560 mm (22 in) wide is just 67 mm (2.6 in) wider than the K1300 engine, is the narrowest in-line six-cylinder engine ever produced. The cylinder bore is 72.0 mm (2.83 in) and the distance between cylinder centers 77 mm (3.0 in). The camshafts are hollow, with cam lobes pressed on, which saves around 2 lb (0.91 kg). The engine has electronic throttle control and multiple drive modes which can be set according to road conditions.
New technology for BMW on these models includes adaptive headlights. As standard, the headlights shine onto a mirror which keeps the beam level according to how the bike is pitched. The optional adaptive headlights include a servomotor that directs the headlight beam according to how the bike is leaning in a turn, effectively pointing the beam around the bend.
To save weight, the motorcycle has a unique cast magnesium alloy subframe to which the front fairing is secured.
Reception
In July 2011, the US magazine Cycle World named the K1600GT as its best sport touring motorcycle, and the K1600GTL as the best touring motorcycle for 2011. Motorcyclist named the K1600GT as Best Touring Bike in its 2011 Motorcycle of the Year awards. UK weekly newspaper Motor Cycle News named the K1600GT as Best Tourer at its MCN Awards 2011.
Motorcyclist road-tested the K1600GTL against the Honda Gold Wing and preferred the Honda. They did note that the additions on the K1600GTL over the K1600GT worked against it, and concluded that the latter was the better bike.
