Inspired by the<\/span> American-born bagger scene <\/span>that helped shape Concept 101, the K 1600 GT-based bagger gets a new rear section for a lower, more stretched-out look and updated side bags that are claimed to have a <\/span>deeper body.<\/span> The B\u2019s spec sheet suggests that the seat is non-adjustable (as it is on the GT), but BMW does say that the seat height is significantly lower, especially for the passenger (the rear end is a claimed 2.75 inches lower).<\/span><\/p>\n

The bike will come standard with three riding modes (Rain, Road, and Dynamic), Dynamic Traction Control, and <\/span>Dynamic ESA with \u201cRoad\u201d and \u201cCruise\u201d damping modes. Shift Assist Pro<\/span>, <\/span>reverse assist<\/span>, \u00a0hill start control, adaptive turning lights and more, are all available as an option. But, like all other BMWs, you can upgrade the 1600 B with various BMW-specific packages that feature a combination of these options. These packages include:<\/span><\/p>\n
