Added Comfort for Passengers Aboard BMW’s Luxury Touring Motorcycle
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – May 1, 2013...BMW Motorrad USA is offering an added measure of comfort for passengers aboard its K 1600 GTL luxury touring motorcycle. Rear comfort armrests – suitable only for the K 1600 GTL and not the GT – are available as a dealer-installed accessory only.
The armrests feature comfortable padding, enabling passengers to enjoy long trips in greater comfort. Ergonomically compatible with the standard top case backrest pad, they are hinged to facilitate mounting on and off the motorcycle. Installation is recommended only by an authorized BMW motorcycle retailer.
Owners of the 2012 MY K 1600 GTL may also wish to retrofit the larger passenger seat grab handles of the 2013 MY K 1600 GTL at the same time as installation of the comfort arm rests to further upgrade their passenger’s comfort experience.
The BMW K 1600 GTL armrests are available at authorized BMW Motorcycles retailers at a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $719.20 – not including installation labor.
Since its international debut, BMW’s all-new luxury tourer – the K 1600 GTL – has earned superlative awards from motorcycle journalists around the world, including “2012 Motorcycle of the Year” by the editors of Rider Magazine, and “Best Touring Bike of 2011” by Cycle World and motorcycle.com.
