[Cipher]

Nice looking and quite insanely powerful.
But is it the bike for me?

Methinks there is only one person that can answer that question.

And that is Trevor, who has a K1300R. But he won't let you ride it . PM him to get his views.

Lol....I am that man! 54000kms in 3 years! This is a brilliant bike in all ways!!! If you want to know more...let me know

Well is it worth the money? Does it destroy its tires and components?
How much of a hit is the insurance? They are quite cheap for older models so whats the deal are their lurking faults or is it like Ducatis in that the maint is crazy high cost.

I have the BMW cd a god awful databse syle manual.
What about the weight is it low co of g? cause its 520 plus pound wet. Im currently on a 441.65 wet bike.

Whats the servicing cost at dealer? Im loolking at a 2009 with 30 thousand kms or so. ANd yeah its coming up on its servicing. The manual shows valve setting as speperate charge from check so how long do the valve s wear in real life.

Connie's are (ALLOT) cheaper and can be just as fast

671 pounds for abs concours

Easy to handle if your a man.

Hahaha Just bustin' chops!

All seriousness the bike doesn't feel that heavy. I've knocked about 40lbs off mine with Running ZX-14 bits and aftermarket bits. Bags off and sport screen on the thing rides Awesome. Keeps a line very very well. Still heavy but the tetra lever shaft drive soaks up some weight.

My post had the sole purpose to get a rise out of Trev.

K1300 is a great machine, but I can't justify spending the coin on a BMW... Yet. But all invested in my Connie I still paid less the what I would have spent to get a K1300.

[Cipher]

what did you pay some 1300s are sub 10 k cdn.
30 000 plus kms. They dont seem to get very cheap with considerably more mileage though.

The naked version like Trevor has is one of the coolest looking motorcycles on the planet, very Terminator-ish.

[Jedz123]

Right now Im finding offerings with 15-20K miles (24-32k KM) for $4.5-6K USD (6-7.8 CAD).
1352cc I-4 DOHC W/ VV-T.
ZX-14 lump so it will take every ZX-14 mod you throw at it... So the after market is HUGE and CHEAP

Yes the only K worth having IMHO. Trev's bike is a very nice machine.

We never got the R in the US, just like the MT-01 so same import problems. You could register it at Trevor's address though
I have had BMW cars, the engineering is incredible. They had features 15 years ago that are just becoming common today.
