BMW Motorrad K 1300 S special model
The '30 Jahre K-Modelle' marks the 30th anniversary of the K series, and it'll be making its public debut at the EICMA show in MilanAt the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan from November 15-18, BMW Motorrad will be presenting the exclusive special model K 1300 S ‘30 Jahre K-Modelle’ to mark the 30th anniversary of the BMW Motorrad K series.
It was in 1983 that BMW Motorrad launched the K 100, the first ever BMW fitted with a liquid-cooled four-cylinder in-line engine. This first generation of the K models also ushered in technological innovations such as electronic fuel injection. This was followed five years later by the introduction of four-valve technology and the very first ABS system in a serial motorcycle.
In 2004, BMW Motorrad established the third generation of the series with the K 1200 S, now with its crankshaft arranged transversely to the direction of travel and featuring the two suspension innovations Duolever and ESA (Electronic Suspension Adjustment). The BMW K-series was also supplemented with the two in-line six-cylinder models K 1600 GT/GTL in 2010.
The K 1300 S ‘30 Jahre K-Modelle’ celebrates the success story of the K series with an extensive range of options and a special colour concept in Alpine white/Sapphire black metallic and Racing red in conjunction with a tinted windshield.
The second iteration of its electronic suspension platform is joined on the bike by traction control and tyre pressure monitoring, and there’s also HP shift assistant and footrests as well as an Akrapovic silencer. Heated grips are also standard.
First production begins in January, 2013, with BMW Motorrad Australia still unsure how many units will be available down under.
