Bmw K 1600 B

The Bmw K 1600 B has a top speed of 200 km/h (electronically limited), produces 160 hp and weighs 348 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La BMW K 1600 B (Bagger) a été lancée en 2017 en tant que variante allégée de style américain de la gamme de véhicules de tourisme K 1600 GT/GTL, ciblant le marché nord-américain où les cruisers de tourisme surbaissés sont populaires. Il présente un profil bas caractéristique, un garde-boue arrière découpé et des sacoches sans top case, alliant ingénierie européenne et esthétique bagger. Elle se distingue comme l'une des rares ensacheuses à être équipée d'un moteur six cylindres en ligne, ce qui lui confère une souplesse et une puissance exceptionnelles dans son segment.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

Bulletproof Inline-Six Engine

The 1649cc inline-six is widely regarded as one of the most refined and durable engines in the touring segment, with many owners reporting 100,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained.

⚠️

Watch the Final Drive

Some owners report premature shaft final drive wear and occasional electronic gremlins with the ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) system — inspect both carefully and verify service history before buying used.

💰

Strong Resale Value

The K 1600 B holds its value exceptionally well compared to competitors, often retaining 70-80% of its value after two years, making it a smart long-term investment in the bagger segment.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Experienced tourers wanting effortless long-distance performance

"The finest engine in touring wrapped in a genuinely capable bagger."

$14,000-$22,000 used

The K1600B is BMW's bagger take on their silky six-cylinder touring platform, and honestly it's one of the most underrated used buys in the segment right now. That 1649cc inline-six pulls from basically nothing and sounds genuinely special — nothing else in this class has that kind of mechanical refinement. The semi-active suspension swallows bad tarmac without drama, and the heated everything makes long days genuinely comfortable rather than just survivable. That said, go in with your eyes open. These bikes are electronically dense, and any used example needs a fresh service history check — the infotainment system can glitch on early units and dealer fixes aren't cheap. Weight is real at 340kg wet, so low-speed maneuvering demands respect. Also budget for tires: those wide rear hoops get expensive fast. Pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist is non-negotiable here. Find a clean 2018-2020 example with under 30,000 miles, verify the recalls are done, and you're getting a genuinely world-class motorcycle at a fraction of new money.
