Lembram-se da concept 101, um "execício de estilo" ao jeito bagger, tendo por base a K16? Falámos disso >>aqui<<.
E cheirava-me que a coisa teria pernas para andar, daí ter dito nesse mesmo tópico:
«Por enquanto "exercício de estilo", dizem eles... Mas será que se ficará apenas por aqui?»
Ainda mais quando tirando a mastodôntica F6B e o material vindo das terras do Tio Sam, pouco ou nada mais temos dentro do estilo das baggers de "alto arcaboiço". E seguindo a mesma receita da Honda, com a sua boxer hexacilíndrica, a BMW parece que decidiu "limar" a Concept 101.... para culminar numa stock a que deu o nome de K1600B.
Aliás.... olhando às últimas concept sob o logo da hélice, são poucas que não passaram a motos de produção, ou resultaram em algo idêntico.
Curiosamente esta bagger foi apresentada ontem, num timing "estranho", quando a Intermot já fechou portas e a EICMA se prepara para as abrir dentro de dias. Ainda mais quando a Intermot serviu de base à apresentação da renovada K16GT.
Será que algo falhou em termos de "dead lines"?

BMW reveal new K1600B bagger

BMW Motorrad have just whipped the covers off their new K1600B bagger in America – the market that asked for this version, and where the firm will undoubtedly sell the most of this quirky creation.
The presentation of the Concept 101 concept study as part of the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este in Spring 2015 was a serious tip-off to the K16’s bagger shaped future, but many thought BMW would never build such an overtly American offering. But here it is – looking just like the bike MCN's spy snappers caught on the road two weeks ago.
Boasting the same chassis and engine package as the rest of the K16 range, meaning that stunning in-line 6-cylinder engine and 160hp on the end of a fly-by-wire throttle, now come with swooping bodywork that wouldn’t look too out of place in the 1920s.
From the highest point, the screen at the front, the B slides away towards the rear with a teardrop silhouette and streamliner style to deep-set side cases with integrated rear lights, beneath which sit new fully chrome-plated silencers that run parallel to the road.
The side cases get slimmer covers and deeper bodies to allow for easy luggage loading, while the rear mudguard has been designed to fold upwards to make it easier to remove the rear wheel.
The B comes with BMW’s electronically controlled Dynamic ESA suspension, and in standard Road mode damping adaptation it’s fully automated, offering the very highest level of performance. In addition, there’s a Cruise mode which is all about comfort.
There’s also a new optional reverse assist feature for easier manoeuvring, and Shift Assistant Pro for clutchless shifting up and down through the gearbox.

As you’d expect, there will be a wide range of genuine accessories and options available, too.
There’s no word on UK prices or availability yet.

6-cylinder in-line engine developing 160bhp @ 7750rpm and a maximum torque of 175Nm at 5250rpm.
Bagger design fixed side cases and integrated light units.
Chrome-plated parallel silencers with ribbed end caps.
Folding rear mudguard for easy wheel removal.
Effective wind and weather protection with wind deflectors stretched further back.
Typical short bagger-style electrically adjustable windscreen.
Electronic suspension Dynamic ESA with Road and Cruise modes as standard.
Optional reverse assist for simpler manoeuvrability.
