More than a bike – your bike

Your appearance counts

Relaxed cruising in total luxury, always keeping the horizon in sight: this is the world of the K 1600 B. Every moment, every impression counts in this vast expanse. And above all, it’s about the impression you leave behind.

Exclusive

Superior in any environment, whether its tight inner-city jungles or riding along endless landscapes: the K 1600 B Exclusive. Your paintwork in Manhattan metallic matt emphasises its cool character. It is particularly impressive with highlights including the front wheel mudguard in body colour and the engine spoiler in Night black matt.

Blackstorm metallic

This K 1600 B is distinguished by its clear lines. From the front-wheel cover to the engine spoiler and cases, the outline is a homogeneous unit in elegant black.

Option 719 Midnight

Quite literally unique. Option 719 Midnight’s highlight is the Meteoric dust II metallic paintwork. Its challenging water transfer paintwork represents an entire galaxy. This is where each K 1600 B becomes a truly unique piece of kit.

Design code – typically bagger

The K 1600 B is proof that you can perfectly swim against the tide if things are streamlined. The elongated, typical bagger outline with its low rear section combines an elegant, casual character with a powerful presence. The entire bike has been fully geared towards you and your perfect tour: from things that are immediately obvious, such as the footboards, to the equipment you can only experience once you have taken a seat, such as the cockpit. It demonstrates a completely new design idiom: clear-cut and functional. The 10.25" TFT colour display now even features a hardened and anti-reflective cover lens for optimum readability. The K 1600 B leaves everything to you when it comes to experiencing the trip, yet nothing happens by chance.
