The K 1600 B is based around a bridge-type, cast aluminium frame with a load bearing engine. The bike measures 2,489 mm in length, 1,000 mm in width and 1,465 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 1,618 mm and a 26.5-litre fuel tank. The K 1600 B looks similar to the K 1600 GTL except for some minor changes. The windscreen on the bagger-style touring bike is comparatively lower and BMW claims that the fairing has been reworked so that it offers more weather protection.

The front suspension comprises of a Duolever setup with a central spring strut and a Paralever at the rear. The K 1600 B is powered by a 1,649cc, in-line 6-cylinder engine that delivers 158 BHP @ 7,750 rpm and 175 Nm of torque @ 5,250 rpm. The engine delivers its power to the rear wheel via a 6-speed transmission and shaft drive. Brakes come in the form of 320 mm dual discs in the front with 4-piston calipers and a single 320 mm disc at the rear with a 2-piston caliper setup.

Standard features include cruise control, xenon headlight, heated seat, ABS and traction control.

First one was actually delivered in Goa at IBW, the one you see in the picture was a customer bike and the BMW guy seen here gave him the keys. I too was considering this but sadly it appeared too bulky to me.
