I have an X-Grip but it interfered with the buttons on my S8.

Make him an offer, Matt.  ;D
It might not interfere with my next phone  ;D

And that's the French nation E45 better off, 109 in a 90 near Dunkerque. That'll teach me to let the phone battery run out so the speed camera alarm doesn't go off. Never seen an online payment happen so fast.

That's a link to all of the K1300S's for sale. Was it one of the low mileage ones? If so, they do seem to turn up regularly - 1 or 2 a month below 10k miles. But above that in £.  :o

This one (£4989 from Superbike Factory)?:
https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bikes-for-sale/bmw/k1300s/3634328/

I can vouch for their good pricing since that's where I bought mine from - and it was about £1.5k less than 'normal'.
I think they work purely on fast turnover of stock (and simple good photography).

I've had no tech problems with my bike that could be apportioned to them rather than BMW, but a single good/lucky purchase does not necessarily guarantee a good dealer.

Only one minor trick that they tried to pull - a charge for paperwork. The price on eBay/MCN doesn't mention any extra costs.
If you look at their actual web site, they will attempt to charge £298 paperwork:
https://www.superbikefactory.co.uk/search_page.php?make=8&model=5645&price=

I said that was illegal to charge extra without any mention, and they backed down, but if anyone is going for it, ring and ask the total cost in an email - then knock them back to, let's say, £5k all in. Oh, and don't forget it's probably due it's 18k service at £550 or so. Still reasonable if it has FSH.

There is another white bike with panniers at £5195 that might actually be better value - if you need panniers (£300-400 worth), and it's even got a centre stand, and only 20k miles:

When I sold my Kawasaki Versys last year (to buy a bike with lower rear footrests in the future - the K1300GT as it turned out) I sold to the Superbike Factory. The supplying Kawasaki dealer was not buying bikes for stock due to the large volume of part - exchanges due in with the forthcoming registration change, and suggested that I contact the Superbike Factory as he had heard good reports of them.

In all, they were very impressive, offering a price that almost reached the part - exchange value, collecting promptly and paying in full at the time. They sold the bike very quickly for a modest profit.

The whole deal went very well, I was able to sell for a fair price, go off to Japan for our regular visit and, on my return look for a suitable replacement bike at the end of the season when prices dropped.
