Ha, its more to do with the extra level of development & refinement BMW put into the 13 motor. Always loved the R-Sport but went for the 13s for reasons mentioned at the start.

Until the last 10 years of my work life I had conformed in the print trade for way too long, when redundancy loomed it was the chance to escape, and it’s the old ‘who not what you know’ and ended up working for MCN, always remember picking up a k1300 from Vines who in those days who ran the test fleet for the lazy buggers at UK, and was expecting great things when I rode it and frankly was very unimpressed, although in fairness mine isn’t just like the OP’s isn’t.

That is actually very interesting, thanks. Not sure where those dyno figures come from, must be measured at the crank.
