Parisian BMW Shop Turns BMW K 1600 GT Into Raucous Roadster

BMW recently updated its entire K 1600 lineup (GT, GTL, B, and Grand America) for 2022. Powered by a Euro 5-approved 1,649cc inline-six, the grand tourer also earns engine drag torque control, Dynamic ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) “Next Generation” suspension with fully automatic load compensation, a 10.25-inch TFT display, and an adaptive headlight as standard.

While the range is ready to handle the rigors of the open road, France’s BYmyCar BMW Motorrad dealer wanted to take the K 1600 GT in an entirely new direction. The shop bid adieu to the bulky back end and cavernous panniers. Now, a new subframe and a single-seat tail unit sharpen the Beemer’s silhouette, showing off the lengthy single-sided swingarm and slick-shod rear wheels.
