2009 BMW K1300R
Making a significant departure from traditional sports motorcycle concepts,BMW proudly presented the �gmost powerful naked bike of all times�h at the
2004 INTERMOT Motorcycle Show: the BMW K 1200 R. Ever since it
has been a well-known fact that BMW is by all means willing and able to
openly demonstrate extreme power and extroverted design in genuine style.
Now the significantly uprated successor to the BMW K 1200 R is making
its world debut at the 2008 INTERMOT Motorcycle Show in the
BMW Urban Encounter World . the new K 1300 R, the most powerful
naked bike BMW has ever built.
Developing maximum output of 127 kW (173 hp) and weighing exactly 243 kg
(536 lb) with a full tank, this extravagant Power Roadster, one of the most
powerful and dynamic machines in its segment, fulfills the greatest demands
in terms of riding dynamics without in any way neglecting the particular
wishes and preferences of the BMW customer in terms of safety, equipment
and riding comfort. Hence, BMW remains at the top also in the special
category of Power Naked Bikes.
Even more sporting, superior and dynamic.
The K 1300 R Power Roadster is a high-performance riding machine offering
a perfect blend of performance, riding safety and technical features carried
over from the K 1300 S. So while the drivetrain and running gear are carried
over from the K 1300 S, they have been modifixed in this case to meet the
particular requirements of a large-capacity naked bike. The most significant
and outstanding considerations in developing the K 1300 R 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.
Suspension geometry upgraded to an even higher standard than on the
previous K 1200 R gives the K 1300 R even greater agility combined with the
same high standard of riding stability as before. The basic technical data on
the suspension are now the same as on the K 1300 S. In comparison with the
previous K 1200 R, the BMW Duolever front-wheel suspension is now slightly
lower, with the wheelbase of the new model being correspondingly longer.
Features and Technical Highlights.
The guide ducts on the engine have likewise been modifixed for the new
machine, with maximum output of 127 kW (173 hp) almost the same as on
the K 1300 S. Quite generally, both engine output and torque have been
increased significantly over the previous model, while the shorter fi nal drive
ratio of 2.91 versus 2.82 on the K 1300 S likewise has a positive impact on
the acceleration and pulling power of the new machine.

Contrary to the former model, the frame, wheel carriers and drivetrain come in
the same colour on all three colour variants of the K 1300 R. This is because
the black engine and suspension components such as the frame and wheel
carriers in Asphalt Metallic symbolise the technical character and sporting
style of the new K 1300 R.
The body colours highlight the newly designed features and the strong
character of the new K 1300 R, in particular the muscular front end
and the slender rear. While Silk Metallic stands for masculine strength
and determination, Lava Orange Metallic creates a sporting, almost
provocative touch.
Refl ecting the current Zeitgeist, white is now back in the market, nevertheless
re-interpreted in this case as Light Grey Metallic with a larger share of metallic
components emphasising the three-dimensional presence of a motorcycle
from BMW.
The graphically much more aggressive model designation stands out clearly
but in full harmony on all colour variants.
