For Sale / Wanted / BMW K1300S for sale
« on: May 01, 2022, 10:02:07 am »
Sadly i am looking to sell my K1300S

Bought it last year from BMW oxford and thoroughly enjoyed having it. Didnt get to do any big trips on it but been lured back on to an adventure bike that does everything for me (for now😁)

The bike is a 2010 model with under 12500 miles and  in superb condition with about 15 months BMW warranty remaining. Sat nav cradle (but no nav) and akrapovic exhaust. Looking for £6250. Will try and get some better pictures later in the month.

Based in Essex if anyone wants to view

Anyone know what size the torx bolt is that holds the silencer on to the hanger on K1300s? Mine seems to have rusted?

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Madstad Screens

Anyone tried the madstad adjustable screen on the K13S?

Current set up seems to direct the air to the top of my lid which creates a lot of wind noise (even with ear plugs) so looking for something to throw the air over the top ideally

K1200 / K1300 Forum / Akrapovic baffle

Anyone know where to get a replacement baffle for the akrapovic on a K1300S or the part reference number? Just got the bike, and still loving it, but want to quieten it down a bit as the the un baffled akra is pretty loud (and turns me into a bit of hooligan!  :-[)

Better still if anyone has a spare they want to sell let me know

K1200 / K1300 Forum / K1300 differences
« on: September 04, 2021, 09:33:30 am »
Just joined here as looking to get a K1300S or possibly an R.

It will be a second bike alongside a KTM 950 adventure and will probably only come out when i want to stretch its legs, very occasional London commute, and potentially a long distance tour. My first question i suppose is how does the R fair as a tourer in regards to wind protection and noise on long motorway stints? Is it vastly different from an S or minimal? Had a 1200 bandit many years ago which was great but once above 100 you really had to hang on and got buffeted all over the place. Granted i dont ride that fast these days!

On the S models am i better off with a later model or were the changes throughout the life minor?

Have seen the HP and motorsport version and particularly like the motorsport. Were these a limited run as very few for sale and the only motorsport version is £13k. Is this a reasonable price for this model (and it is low mileage)? Also seen a nice 2014 black sport model at a bmw dealer.

Part of me likes the idea of buying through a dealer (especially BMW) for an element of comfort and also i can trade another bike against it as no success selling it so far.

Thanks in advance

Evening all

Just joined here as have decided to jump head first into the world of K ownership

Had (and still have) a few boxer engine bikes over the years but feel the need for K1300 power! On the look out for a nice S (or maybe an r) so hopefully soon will be fully immersed  :thumbsup:
