| Flagship touring bikes start above $20,000. Posted: 14 Feb 2011 12:46 PM PST Anyone looking to upgrade to BMW's flagship touring models will need north of $21,000 to get on the road. The K 1600 GT has a base MSRP of $20,900, while the K 1600 GTL will set you back of $23,200. That doesn't include the additional $495 destination charge. Both new models will be available for purchase through authorized BMW Motorrad USA dealers this spring, though the pre-sale program ends of Feb. 28 to enable BMW Motorrad retailers to fulfill pre-orders in a timely manner.

K1600 six-cylinder powerplant-that includes the clutch, gearbox and alternator- is less than 22 inches wide, which BMW claims is comparable in size to four-cylinder engines. The lighting is provided by the the world's first Xenon adaptive headlight on a motorcycle, with the electronics compensating for lean angle to illuminate the road ahead. The audio and communications system includes Bluetooth, Sirius satellite radio with a complimentary 12-month subscription, integration for iPod, USB stick and auxiliary input, AM/FM tuner, and pre-wiring for Navigator 4.
