BMW’s K1600 platform is nothing short of remarkable. The GTL rivals the venerable Gold Wing in terms of luxury while offering greater sporting capability and many extra features.
The GT, meanwhile, is imbued with enough sporting capability to compete with smaller displacement sport-tourers like Yamaha’s FJR1300 and Kawasaki’s Concours 14.
Once a rider gets distracted from the luscious engine, it’s the GT’s amazingly competent chassis that deserves a rider’s attention. Turn-in effort is much lighter than expected, responding very quickly despite the GT’s fully fueled (but without saddlebags) 703-lb curb weight.
