    The 2022 BMW K 1600 B / Grand America: A German Bagger?​


    Contents


    BMW is the only European manufacturer to produce a large displacement luxury-focused touring motorcycle, the K 1600 series. Within the 2022 BMW lineup, there are 4 models of the K1600 and in the simplest terms the GT and GTL have a more European style, and the B and Grand America have, you guessed it, a more North American leaning style right down to an exclusive custom paint scheme.

    BMW has revised the K 1600 engine to meet Euro 5 compliance, and in the process found a bit more torque along with a slightly lower peak RPM for the 160 hp. The silky-smooth inline 6 engine easily wins the power wars compared to all rivals.

    A new 10.25-Inch Color-TFT display with connectivity and integrated map navigation, Dynamic ESA (electronic suspension adjustment with automatic load leveling), and 4 configurable favorite buttons hint at how loaded the standard machines actually come. Both new bikes also receive new LED adaptive headlamp as standard equipment, a useful safety feature that adapts to the bike’s lean angle and movement when accelerating or braking, effectively lighting up more of a curve.

    The true nod to a more North American flavor of these bikes comes from the shape of the side cases. The swept look of the cases, and the optional floorboards are true bagger pieces of kit. The last critical it to mention is the Option 719 Midnight. BMW has applied a complex water transfer process for the first time in motorcycle series production and this paintwork makes every bike unique. Option 719 Midnight depicts an entire galaxy, certainly an otherworldly treatment for this motorcycle.
