Motorcycle specifications BMWK 1300 R 2009 Inverted diet

The big K-series fighter was proof positive of BMW's "new-generation" unleashing. The most road-going, bourgeois, cushy firm in the world, some would say, had just given birth to the world's most powerful roadster. With 163 hp and an incredible face, the K 1200 R feared nothing and nobody. With this road monster, the HP2 Sport, the K 1200 S missile and the future S 1000 RR, no one looks at BMW in the same way any more.
But Japan reacted. The title of supreme power roadster has now passed to theSuzuki 1300 B-King. Its enormous power will enable it to retain this title for some time to come. In Munich, we didn't try to outdo it; we refined, improved and tweaked the K series, and here's the replacement for the big German beast: the K 1300 R.

bigger engine, more power, more weight. In terms of cubic capacity, the K 1300 R is also 6 kg heavier, weighing in at 243 kg when fully loaded. The extra weight is offset by an extra 10 hp and 1 mkg, especially between 2,000 and 8,000 rpm. With its 173 hp, the new K is No. 2 on the podium of the most powerful naked on the market.

the 4-cylinder engine has been upgraded from 1,157 cm3 to 1,293 cm3 on all 3 K models at the same time. Only the power varies slightly depending on whether it's installed in the S, R or GT. But in each case, the figures are proudly on the rise. In keeping with its roadster character, the K 1300 R adopts a shorter final drive than the 1300 S to boost acceleration. The extra torque isn't just due to the larger displacement: take a look at the muffler... Yes, it's shorter, but that's not all. A valve is integrated into the exhaust to manage the flow of exhaust gases and modulate the sound of the appendage. In short, a BM-style EXUP.

in terms of geometry and agility, the longer wheelbase is offset by the more pronounced inclination of the Duolever front axle. The 180 tire is retained, while the springs and shock absorbers have been tightened. A number of optional extras include ESA II, which allows you to fine-tune the suspension. And if you like sport, you can boost the new selection mechanism with the HP2 Sport's shifter, or change the dashboard for the same 1200 HP2's 2D digital instrument cluster, as on the sport-GT K 1300 S.
For added comfort, the roadster's handlebars are taken from the K 1200 R Sport, as they are decoupled from any vibration. Added to this are the new Japanese-standard commodos.

the look of the K 1300 R is not overtly striking, but it has been revised to make it more aggressive. A fuller-bodied hoof, redesigned scoops and mudguard, white turn signals and a slightly meaner look - it's the perfect way to build on the success of the 1200. Of course, there's a whole range of options to perfect the K 1300 R, as listed below. We won't give you the price, to avoid intoxication.
