2012 BMW K1300R Carbon





2012 BMW K1300R Carbon Review

Nothing matches the sleek, dynamic look of the K 1300 R better than the black, silky finish of BMW Motorrad’s top quality carbon parts.

Equipped with a brand new colour and a Carbon engine spoiler as standard, the astonishing looking K 1300 R has never looked so good - and still packed with an unstoppable 173bhp, the K 1300 R is a force to be reckoned with.

Aggressive. Adrenaline pure. Even when standing still. And even more so as soon as it gets going. What happens at this moment is among the special moments in the life of a biker: a rocket-like start.

Thanks to its geometry, this projectile zooms into orbit like no other. Perfect for the quarter mile. But also for everyday use. And bends. It does not only supremely tap into 173 bhp and 140 Nm and produce a sound from its new hexagonal tube with catalytic converter and exhaust valve that gives you goose pimples. But also because all this goes hand in hand with fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels which even a “sensible” bike would be proud. After all, BMW stands for Bayerische Motoren Werke.

The very finest technology, ergonomics from the people who invented it and a style which is simply unforgettable. And you can hardly believe that despite all this emotional appeal, it is one of the safest motorcycles with the best levels of everyday suitability: ABS and ESA II as optional extras, for example.

And even the accessories bowl you over: racers order the automatic shift function which allows them to burn through the gears, as well as the MotoGP-style 2D dashboard – just so that the lap times are official. And if you want to load it up there are even luggage solutions, too. But even they cannot change the fact that this is the coolest power in town. Contact your dealer if you have any questions or concerns about test driving this bike!

The BMW K 1300 R: power has a face.

Boasting a 127 kW (173 hp) engine and tipping the scales at 243 kg including fuel, the extravagant power roadster K 1300 R is one of the most powerful vehicles on this segment for even the highest demands for riding dynamics.

The exclusive paintwork on the special model K 1300 R underscores the muscular face and the sporty, lean tail of this athletic naked bike. At the same time, the combination of mat metallic Ostra grey and metallic Sapphire black emphasises the uncompromising masculinity of this beefy roadster. The lettering in Sun yellow presents a play of harmony.

The special model also features a high quality carbon engine spoiler in support of its dynamic riding claims.

It's impossible to imagine a more striking or more exciting naked bike. Designed without compromise to impress - and to perform. An output of 173hp (127 kW) an­d 140 Nm of torque ensure it can handle anything the street can throw at it. Looks aren't always deceptive.

Imposing design meets unique technology. Technology such as the famous BMW Motorrad Duolever for optimum handling, and optional BMW Motorrad ABS and TPC Tyre Pressure Control. The K 1300 R is also the only naked bike available with gear shift assist, allowing riders to change up without declutching or taking their hand off the throttle.

ESA II (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) is available as an option on the K 1300 R, allowing you to modify the suspension set-up depending on the load you are carrying

The K1300R Power Roadster is a high-performance riding machine offering a perfect blend of performance, riding safety and technical features carried over from the K1300S. So while the drivetrain and running gear are carried over from the K1300S, they have been modified in this case to meet the particular requirements of a large-capacity naked bike. The most significant and outstanding considerations in developing the K1300R were indeed to offer the rider supreme riding pleasure combined with equally outstanding safety on the road, as well as the most sophisticated design features and an extroverted, masculine look.
