BMW K1600 Bagger Motorcycle Impresses on the Big Dam Tour

2018 BMW K1600B

As any motorcyclist knows, riding alongside your brothers (and sisters) on two wheels in the open countryside is one of the best experiences you can have. That’s why the Big Dam Tour draws hoards of passionate bikers year after year. The tour was originally introduced as a motorcycle tour that riders through some of the most impressive dams in America including Oroville, Shasta and of course the Hoover Dam. The tour finishes in Las Vegas where those who have taken part can celebrate their achievement in the company of good friends.

Recently, the staff of Motorcycle.com took seven baggers on the Big Dam Tour to face off in a challenge to be named the best bagger on the market. Not surprisingly, when pitted against the best baggers from Yamaha, Kawasaki, Harley-Davidson, Moto Guzzi and Indian, the BMW K1600B came out on top.

Reviewers praised the bike’s low-slung styling, tech features and “big, smooth power and monstrous torque.” “This is one fantastic motorcycle,” one reviewer wrote.

BMW’s New K1600B Turns Heads on Big Dam Tour

BMW officially entered the bagger market when it created the K1600B which has a classic design and an elongated, streamlined profile. The BMW K1600 stretched style provides more than ample room for rider and passenger to tour in comfort. One feature of the BMW K1600B that came in handy on the Big Dam Tour is the factory mounted 37-liter storage boxes with built-in tail lights.

The back of the BMW K1600B has been lowered to give the bike that classic bagger look. The lowered rear framework also means that there is 0.4-inches less suspension travel which means there’s more stability in the ride. The K1600’s six-cylinder engine delivers an impressive 160 horsepower and 129 lb.-ft. of torque and a large 7-gallon fuel tank that will keep you going for longer trips.

A great feature of the K1600B is its infotainment system which comes with a 5.7-inch display and plenty of functionality. The display has high-tech instruments, ride modes and functions for the ultimate riding experience. BMW always goes the extra mile with its bikes to ensure the best possible performance and the most luxurious rides.
