BMWK1300R 2009 - 2010

　　In 2010, the House of Munich launched the BMW K1300R, a high-performance riding machine that offered the perfect mix of performance, safety riding, and technical features carried from the K1300S model. The drivetrain and running gear was borrowed from the K1300S and modified to meet the particular requirements of a large-capacity naked bike.

　　The K1300R machine was the only motorcycle available at the time that featured a shift gear assist, which allowed the rider to change gears without declutching or even taking their hand off the throttle. It also featured the famous BMW Motorrad Duolever for optimum handling, an optional BMW Motorrad ABS, and Tyre Pressure Control (TPC).

　　Also, the Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA-2) was available as an option, which allowed the rider to change its suspension set-up depending on the carried load.

　　The bike featured a bridge-type aluminum frame with a BMW Motorrad Duolever suspension on the front and a cast aluminum single-sided swingarm with BMW Motorrad with spring pre-tension and infinite hydraulic adjustment on the rear.

　　As for braking power, the bike packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 265 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.

　　In the performance department, the 2010 BMW K1300R was brought to life by a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 173 hp with maximum strength at 9,250 rpm and 140 Nm (103 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,250 rpm.
