is there a difference between the gt models compared to the bagger engine ?
 
According to the official BMW webpages, the ‘power’ is:

K1600 B https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models/tour/k1600b/technicaldata.html#/section-technical-data

Rated output 118 kW (160 hp) at 7,750 rpm

Max. torque 175 Nm at 5,250 rpm


K1600 GT https://www.bmw-motorrad.co.uk/en/models/tour/k1600gt/technicaldata.html#/section-technical-data

Rated Output 118 kW (160 hp) at 7,750 rpm

Max. torque 175 Nm at 5,250 rpm


Ride both back to back and see what your ‘seat of your pants’ dynamometer tells you. If in doubt, refer to the 1200 WC section, where they can tell these things just by looking at a bike, generally by its colour.
 
I think they are he same power but different models limited to different top speeds. They don’t want you wobbling about at 155 mph with a fully loaded top box fitted.
