BMW K1600 Grand America is the touring version of the K1600B Bagger, thanks to a big topcase and a high windscreen. Or you can say it’s a K1600GTL with a streamliner shape and a flamboyant colour - Austin Yellow - borrowed from the BMW M4. It’s powered by the classic straight-six engine which is capable of 160 hp and 175 NM of torque. Full of electronics, comfortable and eye-catching, it seems a perfect motorcycle. But it’s not. And we found its weakness.
