New BMW K1300S pixs (plus K1300R and K1300GT)
First pixs after Intermot - ok look has not changed too much (obvious are LED tail light, modern can, air intakes, common switch gear instead of paddles on both sides, colours). Engine has grown to 1300cc and a few changes under the skin.
Some notable changes from the press release (http://www.bmw-motorrad.com/com/en/i....html&id=300):
The new jet of the range boasts top specifications inside and out. As impressive as its top speed may be, it already delivers its power a lot earlier, from standstill so to speak. In the lower and middle rev range, where more than 80% of road riding takes place, this engine really packs a punch. And you’ll feel it straight away: 140 Nm from 1,293 cc. The 175 bhp delivered at 9.250 rpm are of course also very welcomed by all speed freaks...
...For especially sporty shifters there is a very special optional extra – an automatic shifter. You no longer need to use the clutch when shifting up – just slam in the gears!
...For the K 1300 S the ESA II option is available, the electronically adjustable 2nd generation suspension. The spring base, spring rate and damping are synchronised – automatically. This innovation means you can set your suspension with the press of a button, no matter how heavily laden you are..."

Looks great. Next bike for me in all probability, unless the S1000RR really takes my fancy. They won't be here for a while though.

And the engine is going to be Desmodromic.

They dont have telescopic forks. They dont actually move in they same way as Jap bikes. They are connected with a twin A Frame to a single shock underneath the Headstem.
Glad BMW finally got rid of the stupid indicator system.
Want one.
