Hi All,
Just bought a 2010 K1300GT with 28k miles and a full BMWSH in excellent condition from a shop down South (Arnold Motorcycles - not a BMW dealer, however very pleasant and efficient to deal with).
I had a K1600GT prior to purchasing an S1000XR 2 years ago, and although I love the XR to bits, I wasn't looking forward to another winter without better weather protection.
After much time spent reading reviews, comparisons and forums, I think the K1300GT best fits my needs for daily 80 mile commuting year-round in the hot dry climate of sunny Scotland
Consequently, for the first time in 30 years of biking, I now have 2 bikes at the same time
The K13 is standard, aside from me lowering the pegs and ordering a replacement seat (thanks to fleabay) and a higher windshield; I find the existing seat to be easily the most uncomfortable seat I have ever used. Aside from the aforementioned ergonomic adjustments, I'm very pleased with my purchase, and am looking forward to a long and happy relationship.
Happy to meet up for coffee or a beer with any like-minded local residents or visitors to Central Scotland - feel free to PM me if in the area.
cheers Stu
