BMW K1300R
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.

This isn’t, perhaps, the most awaited sportsbike
shootout ever. We doubt if too many BMW loyalists would ever leave their beloved
Bavarian machines and switch over to Buell, while fans of the all-American Buell
aren’t very likely to ever defect to the BMW camp. Still, Motociclismo recently
had the opportunity to pit the K1300R against the 1125CR, and here’s what they
have to say about how the two bikes stack up against each other:
Developed by Rotax, the Buell’s v-twin is one of the most pleasant twin-cylinder
engines current available in the market. Low-rpm torque delivery makes the bike
very rideable at low speeds and the linear power delivery means the bike picks
up speed smoothly and consistently.
