Bmw K 1300 Gt
The Bmw K 1300 Gt has a top speed of 250 km/h (electronically limited), produces 160 hp and weighs 296 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
De BMW K 1300 GT werd in 2009 geïntroduceerd als opvolger van de K 1200 GT, met een uitgeputte 1293 cc vier-inline-motor en verbeterde chassisdynamiek met BMW's Duolever-voorwielophanging. Het was het paradepaardje van BMW voor sporttouring, waarbij hoge prestaties werden gecombineerd met comfort over lange afstanden en geavanceerde elektronica, waaronder ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment) en ASC (Automatic Stability Control). De productie ging door tot ongeveer 2011-2012, waarna BMW de focus verlegde naar de K 1600 GT-serie.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Watch the Clutch Actuator
The hydraulic clutch actuator is a known weak point and can fail, leading to costly repairs. Always inspect service records and ask if this component has been replaced or serviced.
Strong Long-Term Reliability
The 1293cc inline-four engine is robust and well-engineered, capable of exceeding 100,000 miles with proper maintenance. Regular valve clearance checks are essential to keeping it healthy.
Steady Resale Value
The K 1300 GT holds its value reasonably well in the sport-touring segment due to its premium features and BMW badge. Low-mileage examples with full service histories command noticeably higher prices.
Generaties en specificaties per jaar
K1200GT vervangen; nieuwe 1293cc inline-four, ESA II, verbeterde ergonomie, vernieuwde elektronica en remsystemen.
Kleine verfijningen, bijgewerkte kleuropties, herziene uitrustingspakketten; geen grote mechanische wijzigingen aan motor of chassis.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"The sport-tourer benchmark that still embarrasses newer rivals on pace."
$7,000-$12,000 usedThe K1300GT is BMW's serious sport-tourer from an era when they still built motorcycles with proper mechanical character. That inline-four spins to 10,000rpm with a savagery that'll embarrass sportbikes on a motorway ramp, yet cruises at 80mph barely past idle. It's genuinely fast in a way that surprises people who dismiss it as a commuter bike with luggage. Buy one with full service history or walk away — these need valve checks every 10,000 miles and the ESA suspension electronics can get temperamental on older units. Budget £500-800 for a fresh service if the history is patchy. The Duolever front end feels weird for the first 100 miles then becomes addictive; don't let it put you off. Heated grips, ESA, and tire pressure monitoring were common options worth having. The weak spots are the infotainment (laughably basic by today's standards), fuel consumption hovering around 40mpg when you're having fun, and finding a dealer who actually knows them. Weight is significant at 296kg wet — parking lot maneuvers demand respect.
