The low-slung fully dressed 2021 BMW K 1600 Grand America stately tourer has just a few updates this year—most of them taking previously optional features and making them standard equipment. Let’s see what BMW has in store for the ’21 Grand America.
- The Comfort Package gets a makeover for 2021. It now includes an up/down quickshifter and security features. Last year, an auxiliary LED headlight was part of the package, but it is gone for ’21.
- The Safety Package is no longer an option.
- Reverse is now standard equipment.
- If you like to ride after dark, you’ll appreciate that the cornering light comes standard on the 2021 Grand America. There’s no longer a need to order it up as an option.
- To make you more visible in the sunlight, DLRs are now part of every Grand America. This is another former option that is now part of the base package.
- BMW has made tire pressure monitoring standard on the Grand America.
- Mars Red Metallic is a new color this year. Gone is Imperial Blue Metallic.
- We don’t have price or availability information yet for the 2021 BMW K 1600 Grand America.
