The interceptor. The athlete. Aerodynamic, avant-garde. Do you know of another sporty bike with this profile? A bike that develops such pulling power with 175 bhp that it take the heat out of many a 200 bhp bike? But a bike you can still take out on a quick trip simply because it has great everyday suitability? At the same time a technological treat?


The reasons: 140 Nm from 1,293 cc – and at 8,250 rpm too. With a throaty sound from a cool, hexagonal tube. With catalytic converter and exhaust valve. And with fuel consumption and exhaust emission values which would suit many a machine with half the dynamic performance.

With this jet, the whole concept of speed moves into a new dimension. This in-line 4-cylinder delivers its power in such a way that you can almost feel it when standing still. That’s because within the engine speed ranges in which you move more than 80% of the time – i.e. the lower and medium speed ranges – it delivers performance from the first yard. The real thing. And in terms of safety features, this machine is unique: ABS as standard with ASC and ESA optional. And the extras are amazing: race through the gears with the automatic shift function, pure racing in view with the 2D dashboard.

Extreme power. Thrilling acceleration. Instant responses across the rev range. Welcome to the ultimate sports tourer - the new BMW K 1300 S.

Its styling alone promises speed and performance. And with an output of 175hp and 140Nm of torque, speed and performance is exactly what you get. Your heart races with the engine all the way up to 11,000 rpm. And yet you remain completely calm, thanks­ to a highly practical design, outstanding safety features and a chassis that is a marvel of precision engineering. If you want to be the best, there's no room for half measures.

The designers of the BMW K 1300 S were very clear about their aims: even more power, even more performance. The result is a machine that combines the excitement of a track bike with the practical features needed for long-distance riding on the road, such as the famous BMW Motorrad Duolever and BMW Motorrad ABS.

The K 1300 S is also available with ESA II Electronic Suspension Adjustment as an option, allowing you to modify the suspension set-up depending on the load you are carrying.

The BMW K1300S: supreme power with the sportiest of understatement. Why not try it out right away!

Road test

The first surprises you have suffered, as soon as you start the engine. Incredibly quieter compared to 1200: disappeared, in fact, all the mechanical noise, especially that of the hydraulic tensioner that for a few seconds from start disturbing the sound of the big 4-cylinder. Quieter tale of the return, especially when the first report that first warned with a ping and a leap transferred from the conversion to drive.

Excellent delivery of this 1300 in excess, so, what was an Achilles' heel of the previous version. Now you are in your hands a mix between engine and transmission where there was nothing left to chance: from a minimum of laps until a full scale, the couple is much more smooth and homogeneous, not tears, shows no obvious changes of character, has no holes, always pulls and much more than before to all schemes. For owners of K frontemarcia, porebbero only these improvements enough to want to upgrade, from 1200 to 1300, was made a new motion, which incorporates the previous year and improves in all aspects.

Adjusted also braked that since 2007 when the facility had abandoned the servoassistenza, sometimes proved inadequate when placed under stress. Now, with two fingers will administers a powerful and fully adjustable. Also effective ABS system already known - that we are optional to advise on any motion if it is available - as standard on the K1300S. From refine Instead, the ASC, anti slip that debuts on its K1300, two modes of action decided upon from time to time by the control unit that reads the data of the two-wheel noise, a more sensitive and more aggressive. We would have preferred, however, that could be turned off independently dall'ABS, that choice is not currently permitted, and then exclude the antispin also involves the exclusion dell'antibloccaggio.

As we anticipated, the changes have brought cycling to an improvement in handling without, however, affect the titanic strength already known on the K1200S in long curvoni highways or in the most rapid changes of direction.

An optional call that more enjoyable is essential that the quickshifter change that allows faster without using the clutch and disconnect the gas, is proving more effective and even fun to use when you are in spalancando straight, rather than in urban areas Given that works better for high regimes.
Practically free from defects, in short, we point out only the gear lever higher compulsory maneuvers just natural when you have to climb high and marches from the saddle, identical appearance, but dall'imbottitura perhaps too soft when you try cornering l 'Support and sensitivity needed for a perfect control of the bike. But, so much so, even Achilles had his heel!
