We revel at the luxurious ride that the K1600 GTL has to offer — but with a potent inline-six for company, it has the firepower to ensure a thrill too
I believe all motorised vehicles have a purpose, and can be fun when used for that purpose. Yet somehow, I’ve always had trouble finding the purpose of oversized, lumbering touring style motorcycles fitted with massive luggage compartments all over the place. The American cruiser category (of which I’ve owned several models over the last 15 years) certainly has a fair stake in this market too, but even there my style has always been for slimmer, lighter and faster machines. Nonetheless, I wanted to see what all the fuss was about when the opportunity of a few days aboard a BMW K1600 GTL came up.
