Bmw K 1300 R

Die BMW K 1300 R wurde 2009 als Nachfolger der K 1200 R vorgestellt und verfügte über einen vergrößerten 1293 cm3-Reihenviermotor und eine verbesserte Fahrwerksdynamik. Sie galt als das Flaggschiff von BMW als „Power-Roadster“, der Superbike-Leistung mit Alltagstauglichkeit kombinierte. Sie erlangte einen Ruf für ihr aggressives Design und ihre unglaubliche Leistungsentfaltung. Die Produktion wurde bis 2016 fortgesetzt, als sie schließlich eingestellt wurde, da BMW den Fokus auf andere Plattformen in seiner Produktpalette verlagerte.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Watch the Throttle Actuator
The K 1300 R is known for occasional throttle actuator failures, which can cause erratic idle or stalling. Always check service history and test ride for smooth throttle response before buying.
Strong Resale Retention
BMW K 1300 R holds its value better than most naked bikes in its class due to the brand's reputation and limited production numbers. Well-maintained examples remain competitive on the used market even a decade later.
173hp Inline-4 Power
The longitudinally-mounted 1293cc inline-four produces 173hp with a unique forward-tilted engine design that lowers the center of gravity for sharper handling. This engineering makes it one of the most performance-focused naked bikes of its era.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A flawed masterpiece that rewards experienced riders who budget honestly."
$6,500-$11,000 usedThe K1300R is BMW's answer to a question nobody asked politely — 173 horsepower in a naked bike with zero apologies. Used examples have settled into serious value territory now, and if you find a clean one under 20k miles, grab it. The inline-four is genuinely stonking, pulling hard from 4,000rpm and absolutely deranged past 8,000. It'll embarrass sportbikes on a twisty road while you sit upright drinking in the scenery. That's a special trick. Here's the honest bit though — maintenance will remind you this is a BMW. Valve checks, throttle body sync, and that notorious ESA suspension system all cost real money at a dealer. Find one with full service history or walk away. The steering is also quite heavy at low speeds, which catches new owners off guard. Buy with 10,000-25,000 miles, check for oil leaks around the sump and cylinder head, and budget £500-800 for a thorough first service. Do that, and you've got one of the most exciting naked bikes of its generation.
