9 Photos of BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive

The BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive takes two-wheeled travel to a whole new level with a 118 kW (160 hp) in-line six-cylinder engine that melds superlative power, stylish design and superb standards of equipment and comfort.

Leading the BMW Motorrad tourer range, the “Exclusive” model already lays claim to class-beating specifications as standard equipment – central locking with anti-theft alarm system and ESA II (electronic suspension adjustment) for an optimum spring/damper setup regardless of load. The Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) enhances safety when accelerating, while the innovative new Hill Start Control feature takes all the hard work out of pulling away uphill, even when carrying a passenger and full luggage. Plus, like all BMW motorcycles, the BMW K 1600 GTL Exclusive comes equipped with BMW Motorrad ABS as standard.

The film antenna for the radio that is embedded in the topcase lid is a world first and ensures the best possible reception quality without sacrificing the bike’s appearance. Long-distance travel comfort for the pillion passenger is taken to greater heights by a new seat, a heated backrest and comfortable armrests. Also found on the list of standard equipment: LED auxiliary headlights, adaptive xenon headlight, Tire Pressure Monitor, additional brake light, engine protection bar, floor lighting, as well as LED daytime running light and, for the first time on a BMW motorcycle, Keyless Ride.

Wild Valley on 2013 Deepavali weekend (1 of 3)

I was supposed to be travelling out of the country this weekend. But, due to a reschedule request from the client’s end, I ended up with a bunch of neatly ironed formal clothes, and no plans. I planned to vegetate plugging my ears shut with good earplugs. Kavitha made alternate plans and I was surprised that we actually got space at Wild Valley. This is a place that’s been visited by most of the people in our riding circle. I’d missed almost every ride to this place over the years. Continue reading Wild Valley on 2013 Deepavali weekend (1 of 3)

The Big 2009 Ride: Day 7 – Udaipur

The hotel that we had booked in Udaipur had claimed a view of lake Picchola – it indeed was a view of the lake, but mossy green far end of it – con job of a place! The consolation was that the rooms were nice and clean, the parking was safe for the bike and we would be spending the whole day out anyway.  We decided to stay.

This is day 6 of the ride and if you’ve missed the story till now, you can see the earlier 5 days on The Big 2009 Ride page. Continue reading The Big 2009 Ride: Day 7 – Udaipur
