In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The K1600B and K1600GTL produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the K1600B has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the K1600GTL, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the k1600 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the k1600 if you want the alternative brand character.
