The BMW K 1600 B is a powerful touring motorcycle designed for long-distance rides in style and comfort. It is equipped with a six-cylinder engine that delivers 160 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque, providing a smooth and effortless ride as you would with most BMW motorcycles. The bike has a low-slung, aggressive profile, with blacked-out details and a stretched rear fender for a sleek and modern look. The German bike manufacturer saw fit to equip it with advanced technology features, such as a full-color TFT display, LED lighting, and BMW’s Dynamic ESA system, which automatically adjusts the suspension for optimal comfort and handling.

Other notable features include side cases for storage, heated grips and seats, and a reverse assist function for easy maneuvering. While the B and Midnight share the same underpinnings, if you opt for the Midnight edition, you will get a unique paint scheme. The reason it’s unique is not only the process but because it is being done manually by an artist who applies the design by experience and intuition. In addition to the paint, exclusive features like a Midnight badge, black windscreen panels and the front wheel cover are all blacked out.

Overall, the addition of the BMW K 1600 B and the Midnight variant to their 2023 lineup offers a powerful and unique experience for riders who demand the best.

The antennas have been concealed, yet the sound is more than just present. Operability and menu navigation also reach an entirely new dimension and are based on your smartphone.

If a demonstration of power and torque gives you goosebumps, we can follow through with some figures: thanks to the revised engine control unit, you will now reach the peak output a whole 1,000 rpm earlier.

As the first manufacturer ever, we have applied this complex process in motorcycle series production, thus making each paint application truly unique.

Always energized and still completely relaxed: thanks to the splash-proof and specially ventilated charging storage compartment with USB-C connection, your smartphone will always have enough battery charge.

For a casual appearance on every trip and more comfort on longer journeys.

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

Be well informed and keep it that way: integrated map navigation, connectivity, clear-cut menu navigation and intuitive operation.

Whatever you want, get it at the push of a button: use the four buttons and individually configure your favorite functions.
