BMW K 1600 GTL vs Husqvarna FE 501

The BMW K 1600 GTL (2026) and the Husqvarna FE 501 (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The BMW K 1600 GTL is a touring bike with 1,649 cc, 158.2 hp and 358 kg; the Husqvarna FE 501 is a enduro bike with 511 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 365.5 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the BMW K 1600 GTL covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.34 s and the Husqvarna FE 501 in 4.06 s; the BMW K 1600 GTL is quicker by 0.72 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the BMW K 1600 GTL (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the Husqvarna FE 501 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The BMW K 1600 GTL stops 10.5 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 226 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 158 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for both. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
