2011 BMW K1300S is a unique interpretation of the speedbike theme. It represents a union of
fascinating and innovative high-performance engineering combined with excellent all-round and everyday
suitability, not to mention excellent safety.
175 hp and 140 Nm: power and understatement
Not that this jet was ever slow, but in comparison with its predecessor, its engine performance and
torque specifications have been increased even more, something which, this being a genuine BMW, it
bears discreetly. After all, it is a superior pioneer in its class.
The very latest streamline shape.
Maybe there is such a thing as perfect aerodynamics. And perfect design. The K 1300 S combines both of
these with its own line, one which others will spend a long time searching for.
The seat of speed.
Like barely any other speedbike, the K 1300 S has managed to make the connection between the stable
chassis characteristics of a supersport performance machine and ergonomic design for thousands of kilometres. Of
course. It is a BMW.
Individual safety.
The diverse optional extras make the K 1300 S even more individual. In particular, the new ESA II, which
allows the rider to configure his chassis settings on the move, once again underlines BMW Motorrad’s
innovative lead – and not only in terms of safety.
