BMW is introducing the K1600 GT and GTL top-flight motorcycles just in time for spring. The manufacturer says the GT and GTL are designed for touring rather than the track.

While the GT is the sportier of the two, the GTL is made for comfort. The heart of the new BMW duo is a 1.6 liter straight-six cylinder engine with 118kW of power. When they are revved up to the max of 5250 rpm, both bikes top out at 175 Newton meters of torque. That can punch the GT from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. The motorcycles start selling for a price of 19,900 euros in Germany.
