BMW K1600GTL Exclusive (2014-2015) Specs, Performance & Photos

The K 1600 GTL Exclusive, released by BMW in 2014, came in a more luxurious version as the base GTL. It featured Hill Start Control, passenger armrests, ground lights, crash bars, a second brake light, Dynamic Traction Control, Adaptive Cornering Lights, Electronic Suspension Adjustment, LED auxiliary headlights, central locking with anti-theft alarm, Keyless Ride, Daytime Running Light, and Radio Film Aerial.

The GTL Exclusive was the first model with an in-line engine that featured a Hill Start Control function that effortlessly kept the bike stopped on uphill slopes with the engine running without engaging the brake lever.

The passengers benefited from the most comfortable ride on the GTL Exclusive due to the enlarged seat area and the integrated and heated armrests.

Another premiere for BMW Motorrad was the radio film antenna that replaced the conventional rod antenna without sacrificing reception quality.

As a standard feature, the 2014 GTL Exclusive came equipped with the benefits of the highly sophisticated Electronic Suspension Adjustment II (ESA II) system that allows the rider to adjust rebound damping for the front and rear spring struts and the spring preload of the rear spring strut.

In the performance department, the 2014 GTL remained powered by the same 1649cc four-stroke inline-six liquid-cooled engine as its predecessor with the output power of 160 hp at 7,500 rpm and 175 Nm (129 lb-ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm.
