The new BMW K 1600 B.
The new BMW K 1600 B or the 'Bagger' is the motorcycle for those who enjoy the journey more than the destination. With extraordinary running smoothness and impressive power development, it makes every ride comfortable no matter how long it is. The bike becomes one with the road in the typical Bagger silhouette: the chopped windscreen and the striking rear ensure an unmistakeable appearance. Behind its good looks is a great deal of innovative technology and a high level of comfort.
The new BMW R nine T Racer.
The 1970s era of legendary superbikes comes alive with the new BMW R nineT Racer. Crouched behind the striking half fairing, both hands tight on the low-slung handlebar grips, it gives the unmistakable riding pleasure of a typical but powerful boxer. It promises unrivalled dynamics and sporty flair, the old-school way.
