BMW's 2009 K1300S

HERE'S THE first official picture of the 2009 BMW K 1300 S. The interesting bits are; 175bhp, 228kg. The price is yet to be announced but at least the pillion seat look nice and comfy, even if it does have a huge exhaust.

I can see nothing desirable in that whatsoever.

It's likely to be ludicrously expensive as well.

Probably right on price...

Funny seeing some reactions (we're all different I guess) cos to me, for the sort of sports tourer / big bikes I like, it looks stunning.

Takes all sorts I know

They say it's a big exhaust on this BMW, but it looks heaps better than the new, big exhaust they've put on the new Aprilia V4, or the new Suzuki GSXR1000 for that matter! Best lookin exhausts IMO are on the 08 ZX6R...very well designed!

its all personal taste,if i like it in the flesh and can afford it,fuck it,why not.....

So basically it's just an engine hike to 1300cc

whoopee do!

Cool bike BMW. Shame though for caving in to the "Media" on the signaling switch gear. Guess the original was too hard for their feeble minds to operate! Shame ALL the bike manufacturers don't go to self canceling signaling....just like cars.

Having owned a K1200R I can say that the ride is great and the braking stunning.

I may get the 1300 depending on wether I can get on with the new retro signalling switch.The old self cancelling switches,one on each bar, was so logical and easy to use .

That such a small detail can win or lose a bike sale seems odd but it happens
