Bike Four: K1300S Motorsport
« on: April 15, 2016, 04:00:44 pm »
In November BMW made me an offer I couldn't refuse and so I ended up with a 2015 K1300S Motorsport with just under 2,000 miles on it.  So above my old machine I got the odd bit of carbon fibre, the fancy exhaust, rearsets... Oh, the magic/expensive breaky suspension and the extra computery stuff to lie to me about the MPGs.

It was a bit sad picking it up on a rainy rainy day, knowing its shiny showroom condition was about to be removed for ever.


It looks a lot different to the old one and I really love the colour scheme now. 


I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between the suspension settings! 
However the one downer is I'm getting about 135 miles from a tank (and then refilling with ~17L).  BMW get to try and solve it (and do the 6k) this Friday.

Cheers Costa :D

And be wary, you can tell from all the photos so far that my bikes get used a lot.  So the K photos will be dirty ;)
