K 1600 GT Sport

2014 BMW K 1600 GT Sport Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2014 BMW K 1600 GT Sport touring motorcycle, BMW utilizes a 1649 cc (100.6 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line six, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 160 HP (116.8 kW) at 7,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 175 Nm (129.1 lb-ft) at 5,250 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 97 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,250 rpm) and peak power (7,750 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the K 1600 GT Sport measures 319 kg (703 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 HP/kg (1.99 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,680 mm (66.1 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24-liter (6.3 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 4.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 533 km (331 miles) between fill-ups.
