2023 BMW K 1600 Grand America Black Storm Metallic
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

Traveling also means showing where you have come from and where you are heading. With numerous available equipment options and Original BMW Motorrad Accessories, you can tailor the K 1600 Grand America to suit your needs even more.

Option 719 seat and forged wheels, on the other hand, represent our highest level of craftsmanship and exclusive taste while the forged handlebars complete the casual look.
