Derived from the BMW K 1600 B, the brand new K1600 Grand America extends the BMW Motorrad product range in the full dresser touring segment. This motorcycle was especially developed for comfortable touring and unites the supreme performance of its 6-cylinder engine and exclusive equipemnt elements which enable comfortable and luxurious traveling in the style of "American Highway Cruising".
The new K1600 Grand America takes up the shape of the K1600B and complements this shape by some unique characteristics. Distinctive elements are the dynamically elongated side line that slopes evenly down to the rear and the drop-shaped silhouette created from the visual link between the high-rising windshield and the low positioned side cases. The Chrome-plated rear silencers are arranged parallel to the road and the top case offers a backrest for the passenger. An additonal brake light is integrated in the top case. This brake light builds a visual unity with the brake lights and turn indicators that are integrated in the side cases. This appearance of the motorcycle‘s rear again highlights the US-inspired design of the K1600 Grand America. All lighting is produced by means of LED units.
The K1600 Grand America is available in the colour Blackstorm metallic and, for a higher level of exclusivity, in the two-colour paint finish combining Blackstorm metallic with Austin Yellow metallic.
