The BMW K 1600 Grand America

Experience more together

Traveling in pairs means experiencing every mile twice. Makes sense, right? However, with the K 1600 Grand America you will experience more. Its six-cylinder engine lets you casually cruise towards the horizon: well equipped with footboards, a top case featuring a backrest and high windscreen. As a result, it won't be easy to say which was the most beautiful moment of the tour at the end of each day. Still, the stories about every mile will feel at least twice as good. Simply put: #RideAndShare

Highlights at a glance

Audio system 2.0 with outstanding sound

Top entertainment as standard: provided by the sound, but also the intuitive operation and menu navigation. Regardless of whether you're traveling alone or with a companion.

Six-cylinder engine

The smoothly running characteristics of the six-cylinder engine are legendary. Its revamped engine control unit now provides more power and an even more powerful appearance.

Practical top case

The top case features speakers to match the audio system 2.0 plus a USB-A charging socket and, of course, the backrest for your companion.

Integrated smartphone charging storage compartment

The splash-proof and specially ventilated charging storage compartment uses the USB-C port to supply your smartphone with power at all times.

Unique water transfer paintwork

Applied for the first time in motorcycle series production, this complex painting process underlines the exclusive character of the K 1600 Grand America.

Powerful headlights

New full-LED headlight with adaptive headlight provides unprecedented illumination. For more dynamic cornering and visibility.

Brilliant 10.25" TFT color display

Anyone who loves looking out into the world should not be satisfied with a smaller display: dive fully into your navigation and enjoy connectivity.

Configurable Favorites buttons

Have quick access to your favorite functions: the four buttons can be configured for your preferences.

You will experience every mile more intensively with the K 1600 Grand America. And yet you'll never get enough: thanks to the standard additional headlight and the full LED headlight with adaptive headlight, you can now travel more confidently than ever before, even at night. Thanks to its swivel function, the light cone remains constant and adapts seamlessly when you lean into corners. After all, what's better than maintaining sight of the horizon even in the dark? The standard audio system 2.0 also opens new dimensions. Apart from intuitive menu navigation and numerous sound profiles, there is not much to see: the antennas have been concealed. This makes enjoying the music even more impressive. Just what you expect!
