2012 BMW K1300S HP Review
All for one. One for all. But not for anyone! The limited
K 1300 S special model with HP Package has lots to offer even purely visually.
What is more, underneath its exterior of brilliant Alpine White non-metallic,
mysterious Night Black non-metallic and glowing Lupine Blue metallic is the
beat of a powerful heart derived from the basic model, with numerous extra
technical features added: high-quality HP Carbon attachment parts for the
front wheel cover, an HP footrest system for rider and passenger, an Akrapovic
sports silencer and a paddock stand. The bike's refined outer appearance is
perfectly supplemented by an exclusive series embossment in brushed aluminium
positioned on the intake silencer cover featuring the name of the model and
the individual serial number. After all, there are only 750 of the K 1300
S with HP Package. The wide range of additional options makes the machine
even more individual. For example, ESA II enables convenient adjustment of
the suspension set-up during travel, while Automatic Stability Control (ASC)
provides excellent traction and ride stability. If you really want to get
moving there is also an optional automatic shift, and for additional warmth
heated grips come as an accessory. And there is plenty of passion behind the
tinted windshield, too - after all, the special edition is technologically
based on the regular 175 bhp model. The perfect package for everyday riding
and for longer trips, too.
Feel the difference at an attractive saving of around 36% as compared to
purchasing the components individually.
As the sportiest representative of the BMW Motorrad K Series, the BMW K 1300
S combines sporting character and riding dynamics with a high level of comfort,
lightfooted handling with absolute riding stability, and superior performance
with perfect everyday practicality. At the same time, it offers a high level
of protection against wind and weather and perfected ergonomics for long hauls.
The special model BMW K 1300 S with HP Package emphasises these virtues and upgrades the popular sports tourer to a vehicle of even greater prestige.
The special model bears an exclusive Edition badge of brushed aluminium on the airbox cover. This sporting character is underscored by the paintwork of solid Alpine White / metallic Lupin Blue / solid Night Black contrasting with the HP carbon parts like the covers for the front wheel, airbox, clutch, and seat.
The technical highlights of the 175 hp packing K 1300 S are the HP gearshift assistant, the Akrapović sports silencer, the electronic suspension adjustment ESA II, the automatic stability control ASC, the tyre pressure control RDC, the heated grips, and an onboard computer.
In addition, the BMW K 1300 S as a special model with HP Package benefits from yet more high quality equipment details. Its standard equipment includes the HP footrests for rider and passenger and a tinted windscreen.
For the perfect accommodation in the garage at home, this fully equipped special model of the BMW K 1300 S also comes with a paddock stand.
