Best Sport-Touring Bike: BMW K1600GT
Staking a claim as the ultimate sport-touring bike since its 2011 debut, BMW’s K1600GT has yet to see a serious challenge. The 1649cc inline-Six combines ultra-smooth, massively strong output with a solid-handling chassis exhibiting agility that defies the GT’s 755-pound fully fueled weight—plus a suite of luxury features it shares in common with its GTL sibling. What will it take to unseat the GT? A light supersport with high bars, low pegs, tall screen and detachable saddlebags?
