The BMW K1600GT, K1600GTL, and 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.[4][5][6] The latter was announced in October 2016.[7] The K1600GTL is a full dress luxury tourer, which replaced the K1200LT. It was intended to compete with the Honda Gold Wing.[8] The K1600GT was more of a sport tourer similar to the then-existing K1300GT and previous K1200GT models.[a] The K1600B is a bagger designed primarily for the North American market.[10]
