With its big, smooth and torquey six-cylinder powerplant, the K 1600 GT is the latest in a long line of GT machines from BMW. With a low centre of gravity making its not-inconsiderable bulk easier to manage than many would expect, the K 1600 GT offers a majestic way to tour long distances. Three variants.
