VEHICLE REVIEW
2009 BMW K1300S
The significantly updated and upgraded successor to the BMW K 1200 S is proudly celebrating its world debut at the 2008 INTER MOT motorcycle show:the new K 1300 S, the most powerful and fastest BMW the world has ever seen. As a milestone in the BMW Sports Encounter World and with engine output of 129 kW (175 hp) combined with overall weight of 254 kg (560 lb)including fuel, this truly supreme motorcycle offers the utmost in dynamic performance and sporting riding features.Launching this new model, Europe's largest and most successful motorcycle manufacturer is once again increasing its leadership in the topmost class of sporting high-performance machines.
Even more sporting, superior and dynamic.
Conceived consistently as a sports machine, the K 1300 S has not only maintained, but in many areas even enhanced the qualities of its predecessor.As a result, this new high-performer combines fascinating and innovative technology of the highest calibre with outstanding all-round qualities and safety. On the road this means even greater riding precision and agility,even more dynamic power and performance, and, at the same time,the superior safety and ease of control in all situations so typical of a BMW.Like its predecessor, the K 1300 S does not make any compromises, but rather brings together even more consistently than before all the virtues of the most dynamic motorcycle in the K-Series: sporting and dynamic performance combined with superior comfort, playful and easy handling in combination with absolute riding stability, supreme top performance in conjunction with perfect everyday riding qualities, an even more slender and sporting look with optimised protection from wind and weather, plus sophisticated ergonomics. Taking up a great tradition of BMW Motorrad, the new K 1300 S stands out through qualities typical of BMW such as a long service life, ease of maintenance, optimum emission management by means of a fully controlled three-way catalytic converter as well as maximum active safety when applying the brakes ensured through the most progressive brake system currently available in the market.
BMW Motorrad Integral ABS featured as standard
As in the past, BMW, through the K 1300 S, offers the only sports motorcycle in this segment with a maintenance-free drive shaft. Featuring innovative top-end technology, optimum riding qualities, an even more dynamic look and performance enhanced to an unprecedented standard, the K 1300 S Impressively renders the BMW Sports Encounter World, clearly maintaining BMWfs strong leadership in the upper sports segment.
Concept optimised in riding dynamics and technical features.The main objective in developing the new K 1300 S was to create an even more supreme motorcycle with enhanced riding qualities ensured by an even more powerful and harmonious torque curve and a higher standard of riding comfort. Increasing engine capacity to 1,293 cc while maintaining maximum engine speed of 11,000 rpm ultimately led to a signify cant improvement of performance, power and torque. In its fundamental qualities, the K 1300 S is based on the proven drivetrain Configuration and engine arrangement of its predecessor, using the existing advantage of a low centre of gravity made possible by the extreme angle of the cylinder bank tilted 55‹ to the front and allowing very low arrangement of the engine. At the same time the new K 1300 S benefits from the very slender engine block allowing a very low angle in bends for a truly sporting and dynamic style of riding. In its suspension and running gear the new K 1300 S . by far the lightest1,300-cc model in this segment at 228 kg/503 lb dry weight . applies successful concept combined with proven modules and components. One example in this context is the extra-low V-shaped radiator interacting with the wheel supports to provide an ideal Configuration of the frame above the cylinder head and, as a result, reducing the overall width of the machine.And with the frame profiles merging smoothly at the rear, the K 1300 Senables the driver to hold his knees tightly together, ensuring optimum contact with the motorcycle under all conditions. The active, dynamic and forward-looking seating position is tailored fully to the rider, but nevertheless allows a relaxed and comfortable style of motorcycling at all times. So while being unusually dynamic and sporting,the K 1300 S is almost playful and certainly very safe in its behaviour,guaranteeing stress-free riding pleasure even in sporting style.Innovations on the running gear and electronics. The upgraded front-wheel Duolever suspension makes a significant contribution to the outstanding riding qualities of the K 1300 S. The newly developed, lower longitudinal arm now made of a forged aluminium alloy ensures an even more sensitive and transparent response, further enhancing the leadership of BMW Motorrad in the area of suspension technology.The spring/damper set-up is firmer than before also in the interest of even better feedback.
The K 1300 S is available with second-generation Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA II) as an option, a further development and improvement of the original ESA suspension introduced for the first time in series production on the K 1200 S. Applying the most advanced CAN-bus technology, the progressive on-board network allows a wide range of functions and facilitates the diagnostic procedures usually required by intelligently connecting the machinefs electrical and electronic systems.
