BMW Reveals Custom K1600 GTL Bikes

 »  »  »

BMW Motorrad Japan revealed recently two customized bikes, which are based on the K1600 GTL. Both motorcycles have been customized by Japanese specialists as part of the "Ignite Straight Six" project. The program is aimed at increasing the popularity of the 1649 cc 6-cylinder BMW K 1600 GTL bike. These two monsters are the work of Kenji Nagai of Ken's Factory and Keiji Kawakita of Hot-Dock Custom-Cycles. The only standard parts on these two bikes are the engine and the frame. The Juggernaut also retained the original BMW Duolever front suspension. Ken's Factory Special BMW K 1600 GTL comes with hand-made aluminum girder-type front forks raked out in chopper style using a modified headstock. The K 1600 GTL's original full fairing was replaced by a small aluminum front cowl housing the headlight and the stock rear subframe and seat were replaced by a low positioned aluminum seat.

The bike also features a 23-inch front wheel and a 20-inch rear wheel, a dramatically low seat height, and various aluminum details.

The Juggernaut, which is inspired by Mad Max, obviously, comes with a Kind of Steam Punk look. The Juggernaut comes with an aluminum tubing skeleton, instruments mounted on each side of the tank, and dual fog lights.
