BMW announces new K-bike lineup including K 1600 GT, K 1600 GTL, K 1600 B and the K 1600 Grand America.

Since 2010 the big six-cylinder has been the marque's flagship. New models represent a serious effort to tune the K1600 series for the wide open roads of America.

Engine refinements using BMS-O engine control, two knock sensors and two additional broadband lambda probes makes peak horsepower 1000 RPM sooner than before. This is accompanied by a modest increase in torque.
