BMW Motorrad India adds yet another motorcycle to its stable, as they launched the K 1600 B Bagger alongside their R nine T Racer. The K 1600 B Bagger is based on the K 1600 GT and it shares most of the underpinnings. The 1600 Bagger is built along the Concept 101 Bagger which was shown a couple of years ago. Here's a quick overview of the newly launched Bavarian workhorse.

BMW K 1600 B Overview

Looks and Design:

The looks of the K 1600 B Bagger stays true to the original BMW Concept 101 Bagger from 2015. The motorcycle almost retains every design aspects of the concept in production form. When compared to the K 1600 GT, the Bagger has an entirely redesigned rear section with reduced seat height and lowered tail section which accommodates couple of large 37 litre panniers. The fairings are also different from the GT, and covers only the front half while revealing most of the engine. The windscreen is much shorter compared to the GT, and is electronically adjustable. On the whole, the motorcycle looks massive in terms of road appearance. Engine and Performance:

The K 1600 B Bagger gets the same trusted 1649cc liquid cooled inline six engine from the GT, which churns out 160 hp at 7,750 RPM and a mammoth 175 Nm of torque at 5,250 RPM. The transmission is a conventional 6 speed manual while the clutch is a wet multi disc unit which is hydraulically operated. The motorcycle is driven by a shaft at the rear wheel, which would be hassle free. The engine is fueled by Electronic fuel injection with ride by wire throttle system. Brakes, Chassis and Suspension:

The BMW K 1600 B Bagger has a aluminum bridge type frame with load bearing engine (engine as stressed member). The motorcycle is suspended by BMW's parented Duolever with central spring strut up front and a Paralever suspension at the rear. Braking duties are carried out by dual 320mm floating discs with 4 piston calipers at the front while the rear end is guarded by a single large 320mm disc with dual piston caliper. Anti lock braking system comes as a part of the standard package. Electronics and Equipment:

The motorcycle gets a host of modern electronics that includes ABS Pro, dynamic traction control system, dynamic brake light, selectable riding modes, cruise control, quick shifter, heated grips and seat heating. The headlight assembly houses a set of projectors with xenon lamps. The speedometer meter console is big enough making a few cars be ashamed of, and shows almost every information required on the go. There's also a large 6 embossed on top of the console, reminding of the large inline six cylinder engine every time you hop on to the motorcycle.

Price and Mileage:

The BMW K 1600 B Bagger comes as a specific rival to the premium Harley Davidson motorcycles and Indian motorcycles. BMW can take advantage, the absence of Honda Goldwing for this period of time. With complete tourer friendly design and a trusted smooth inline six engine, BMW can probably pull in a segment of customers looking for premium tourers with a presence. At Rs. 29,00,000 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi) the motorcycle is priced well, given the amount of features and technology it has got on offer.
