BMW K-Series description
Up for sale is my 2013 BMW K1600 GTL. Owned since new, and now I'm moving on to a different/smaller bike now that my wife is no longer riding as much. All major dealer maintenance has been performed, and is documented. Bike rides like a dream, and has all upgrades. Almost $24,000 when new, this is a steal for so much bike!! Purchased in December of 2013, so bike is only 2 years old! The K1600 boasts an all-new six-cylinder engine, an array of new technology, and a seriously sporting attitude. But the 1,649cc engine packs a serious wallop, to the tune of 160 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque, 70% of which is available as low as 1,500 rpm. Equally impressive is the fact that the engine is 10% more fuel efficient at a constant 55 mph than BMW's outgoing 4-cylinder powered K1300GT; its 50+ mpg figure at 55 mph helps it achieve a 300+ mile cruising range. Three electronically managed riding modes control throttle response on the fly: "Rain," "Road" and "Dynamic." An optional Dynamic Traction Control system gauges lean angle (like on the S1000RR) to limit wheelspin and wheelies. DTC can also be switched completely off, though that requires the bike to be at a standstill. Standard anti-lock brakes are linked front to rear, so applying the front brakes will trigger the rears, while pressing the rear foot pedal will only operate the rear brake. |

New: BMW System 6 Evo helmet
Fri, 12 Apr 2013BMW has released the new System 6 Evo flip-front helmet. It retains the clean lines of the System 6, while increasing levels of comfort and practicality with a more scratch-resistant internal sun visor, a more robust visor mechanism designed to make operation with gloved hands easier, improved ventilation control on the chin, and a revised spoiler for better aerodynamics. BMW says it has a unique chin bar pivot which reduces the size of the helmet when the chin bar is upright. Weighing in at 1.57kg, the ECE 22-05 homologated Evo is a quiet lid, with noise levels registering at 84-86 dBA at 62 mph. The helmet comes ready for installation of the BMW Communication system, offering a Bluetooth connection to the BMW Navigator IV sat-nav, music players, mobile phones and other BMW helmets.
