Gran Turismo. Travel in big style. That means combining dynamic performance and comfort - and transforming distance into free space. BMW Motorrad's vision was the essence of this philosophy - the pure sense of Gran Turismo. This vision has now taken shape in the K 1600 GT.
Bike Overview
The in-line 6-cylinder engines by BMW are legendary. A legend that has been realised once more in the K 1600 GT - but now more compactly than ever before. 1649 cc, 118 kW (160 bhp) and a maximum torque of 175 Nm. Even the facts are impressive. But the riding experience is even more inspiring. The transversely mounted engine delivers an extraordinary level of dynamic performance as well as refined running smoothness.
If the rider is in the mood for a show of sporty prowess, the engine willingly puts in a burst of speed even in the lower engine speed range, and it is in its element over high-speed stretches. Over 70% of the maximum torque is available from just 1,500 rpm.
Motorcycles can be picked up and dropped off at our Auckland, Christchurch bases. If picked up at one and dropped off at the other a one way fee of NZ$490 applies.

I had Paradise Motorcycle Tours set me up on a 12-day solo trip around the South Island of New Zealand in November of 2017 and I had wonderful experience all around. Everything about my trip exceeded my expectations. I rode a nice BMW GS1200, my daily route was fantastic - there was just the right amount of road time and they recommended plenty of things to see and do each day as well. My accommodations each night were excellent. I had an amazing time thanks to Paradise and I'm ready to return already. There are just not enough superlatives to describe it! New Zealand didn't disappoint me in the least and Wayne from Paradise epitomizes the great Kiwi hospitality and friendliness of New Zealand.
