K1300GT
High-performance sport touring with the K1300GT
Sport-touring reaches a new level of performance and comfort with the new
K1300GT. Sharing many features with the K1300S supersport bike, the K1300GT
combines Formula One-inspired engine design with a lightweight, nimble chassis.
Adjustable ergonomics and many comfort and convenience features make this the
ideal bike for solo or two-up riding: an evening ride or a two-week tour.
The 2009 K1300GT updates
the industry-leading K1200GT with more smooth power and torque and more. New
engine electronics reduce emissions and fuel consumption. The drivetrain has
been optimized and the smooth gearbox gets even silkier shifting. The wonderful
Electronic Suspension Adjustment option has extended functionality. Now ESA II,
it allows push-button adjustment of not only shock absorber damping and spring
preload but also spring rate. This level of adjustability has never
been possible before on a motorcycle with even the most sophisticated
manually-adjusted shocks.
The K1300GT combines
a comfortable riding position and excellent weather protection with just the
right selection of standard touring features. Radios and CDs have their place
but this bike is all about the ride.
Duolever and
Paralever suspension along with semi-Integral antilock brakes provide handling
and safety like no other bike in its class.
How about engine
performance? Well, how about 160 horsepower and 99 ft-lbs of torque? The
balance-shaft-equipped engine and slick-shifting six-speed gearbox deliver
smooth power at all speeds and make passing effortless.
BMW invented this
class of motorcycle thirty years ago: the K1300GT is the recognized benchmark.
STANDARD AND OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Standard equipment includes antilock brakes (Integral ABS Generation II; the
hand lever operates both front and rear brakes and the foot lever operates the
rear brake only), heated handgrips, electrically-adjustable windshield, a
12-volt accessory socket, hazard warning flashers, and self-cancelling turn
signals. The standard anti-theft system uses a "smart" ignition key which cannot
be copied and makes hotwiring impossible. The colour-matched removable touring
cases shown here are also standard equipment. Available tire pressure monitoring
will warn of a flat tire before the tire deflates to a dangerous level.
The major original equipment options are grouped into convenient packages:
Safety Package with tire pressure monitoring and
stability control
Equipment Package One is the onboard computer
Equipment Package Two includes ESA II electronic
suspension adjustment, heated seats, and onboard computer
Equipment Package Three adds electronic cruise control
and Xenon lighting to the Package Two features
Also
available:
Anti-theft alarm system with wireless remote control
Higher windshield
Lower adjustable seat (no charge)
