Bmw K 1300 S
The Bmw K 1300 S has a top speed of 280 km/h (electronically limited; estimated), produces 175 hp and weighs 254 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
Die BMW K 1300 S wurde 2009 als Nachfolger der K 1200 S vorgestellt und verfügte über einen vergrößerten 1293 cm3-Reihenmotor und die innovative Duolever-Vorderradaufhängung von BMW für ein hervorragendes Handling. Sie stellte den Höhepunkt der Sportmotorrad-Modellpalette von BMW dar und verband hohe Leistung mit Langstreckentauglichkeit und fortschrittlicher Elektronik, einschließlich optionaler ESA- und ASC-Traktionskontrolle. Die Produktion dauerte bis etwa 2016, als sie schließlich eingestellt wurde, als BMW den Fokus auf die S 1000 RR-Plattform verlagerte.

Was Käufer wissen sollten
Watch the Throttle Actuator
The K 1300 S is known for throttle actuator failures that can cause erratic idle or stalling. Inspect service records and budget for potential replacement, as parts can be expensive.
Unique Duolever Front End
BMW's proprietary Duolever front suspension eliminates fork dive under braking and delivers razor-sharp handling unlike any conventional motorcycle. It's a standout feature but requires specialized knowledge to service correctly.
Steady Resale Value
The K 1300 S holds its value reasonably well compared to Japanese sport bikes, partly due to its low production numbers and strong brand loyalty. Well-maintained examples with full BMW service history command a noticeable premium.

Bewertung von gebrauchten Käufern
"A flawed masterpiece that rewards meticulous maintenance with genuine greatness."
$7,500-$12,500 usedThe K1300S is basically BMW's answer to the question nobody asked — what if a sport-tourer went on a serious diet and started hitting the gym? The 1293cc inline-four pulls hard from 4,000rpm and absolutely screams past 8,000, making 175bhp feel genuinely accessible rather than terrifying. Electronically-adjustable ESA suspension is brilliant when it works, and the Duolever front end gives steering precision that'll make you question everything you thought you knew about how a big bike should handle. Here's the real talk though: budget an extra $1,500-2,000 for a pre-purchase inspection and immediate service. The throttle bodies need synchronizing regularly, the ESA suspension control units are expensive to replace, and coolant pipes have a reputation for cracking on high-mileage examples. Check the service history obsessively — a neglected K1300S is a money pit. A properly maintained one, however, is genuinely one of the most capable sport-tourers ever built. Find one with full dealer history under 30,000 miles and you'll grin every single time.
