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.

La BMW K 1300 S a été introduite en 2009 en tant que successeur de la K 1200 S, avec un moteur quatre cylindres en ligne agrandi de 1293 cm3 et la suspension avant Duolever innovante de BMW pour une maniabilité supérieure. Elle représentait le summum de la gamme de motos sportives de BMW, alliant hautes performances à des capacités de randonnée sur de longues distances et à une électronique de pointe, notamment le contrôle de traction ESA et ASC en option. La production s'est poursuivie jusqu'en 2016 environ, date à laquelle elle a finalement été arrêtée, BMW se concentrant désormais sur la plate-forme S 1000 RR.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

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.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Experienced riders wanting sport-tourer with supercar performance

"A flawed masterpiece that rewards meticulous maintenance with genuine greatness."

$7,500-$12,500 used

The 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.
