The BMW K 1600 GTL was already an intimidating motorcycle.
It wasnt built for show, it was built for long hauls across continents.
The rear wheel is a solid disc of aluminum, a stand-out styling element of the full design.
Most recognizable, however, is the mass of engine components beneath the aluminum jacket.
Kens Factory builder Kenji Nagai built the Ignite Straight Six in the digger style to emphasize the engine mass.
It makes the bike look menacing, and it fits the feeling that the brushed aluminum conveys.
It could be confused for sculpture.
Or perhaps some sort of weapon.
But its still a BMW K 1600 GTL.
The best looking straight six bike a buyer could ask for.
