At a recent press conference hosted by MotorWereld Magazine at the Brussels Motor Show the BMW K1600GT was declared the 2011 International Bike of the Year. In fact, three BMW bikes made the top five. Fourth place went to the more luxurious K1600GTL, while fifth place went to last year’s Bike of the Year, the S1000RR. This marks the first time in over 10 years that the same manufacturer has won the coveted award back to back.
The International Bike of the Year (IBOTY) jury praised the BMW K1600GT as “blending comfort, performance and the excellent use of innovative technology. The glorious six-in-line engine offers power, refinement, and plenty of fun. Boasting every feature that you can dream of, from traction control, ABS, sat-nav, electronically adjustable suspension and adaptive headlight to ride modes and much more make the BMW K1600GT the pinnacle of two-wheel touring.”
Expect BMW Motorrad to continue dominating as 2012 brings about several new and exciting models such as the C600 Sport and C650GT Maxi-Scooters, the new G650GS Sertão, the 2012 F800R, and the unbeatable 2012 S1000RR.
