2022 BMW K 1600 Grand America - gallery

The BMW K 1600 Grand America carries a number of upgrades into the 2022 model year,

including improvements in lighting, power delivery, and the addition of standard features that were once optional, or not available at all.

BMW set about the business of building a bike that could compete for a piece of the American-style touring action

and it seems like a job well done.

Next-generation electronic suspension and a high-vis TFT display round out the new goodies.

Beemer's Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment delivers no-muss/no-fuss suspension performance.

Instrumentation, ride-control electronics, and navigation support all come standard, packed in their entirety behind the new 10.25-inch color TFT screen.

The Audio System 2.0 package brings the boom for your traveling tunes.

The improved engine doesn't have more power than the previous gen

but it tops out a full thousand RPM lower in the range for a less-frenetic engine pace.

Recessed lighting rides behind a large, faceshield-like visor in LED tech for maximum brightness,

and standard for this year, adaptive headlights illuminate the actual curve ahead, not something over in the other lane.

Heated grips and seats are standard for cold-weather riders,

and the passenger enjoys an uncommonly tall backrest for better support and comfort.

Standard features include an adjustable windscreen, hill-start control pro, dynamic engine brake control, integral ABS with ABS pro, dynamic traction control

along with goodies like programmable function buttons, ride modes and dynamic cruise control.

The base-model Grand America rolls in Black Storm Metallic for $27.8k with style packages potentially pushing that to $30.5k.
