First Look: AC Schnizter BMW K1300R

A superfast German naked with extra tasty bits




Big, fast and very, very tasty

THIS IS German tuning specialist AC Schnitzer's take on BMW's new K1300R.

The bike features:

AC Schnitzer ACS forged alloy wheels, which weigh 8kg less than the standard items, a Superbike bar conversion package, AC Schnitzer Stealth silencer with EC approval and removable DB Killer, high performance manifold, belly pan, cockpit and lamp trim, topped off with an AC Schnitzer pillion cover.

AC's clutch and brake levers, made of high-strength aeronautical aluminium, are also adjustable over a wide range than the standard items.

We like it. However, with a total package price yet to be confirmed, we bet AC's sledgehammer BM is also a wallet-hitter too.
