BMW K 1300S (2014)

The BMW K 1300S – a motorcycle that defies categorization. With its in-line 4-cylinder engine delivering 175 horsepower and 103 ft-lb of torque, this bike is a force to be reckoned with on the road. Yet, its smooth power delivery and excellent everyday suitability make it equally at home on a quick trip or a long journey.

Its 1,293cc engine is a technological marvel, producing a throaty sound from its hexagonal tube exhaust and boasting fuel consumption and emission values that would put many smaller machines to shame. With its standard ABS and optional ASC and ESA, safety is never compromised.

Ride the K 1300S and experience the ultimate sports tourer – a bike that combines supreme power with understated sophistication. The thrill of its acceleration and instant response across the rev range are just the beginning.
