The BMW K1300GT

The new K 1300 GT, BMW Motorrad is opening up newdimensions in the BMW Touring Encounter World in terms of both riding dynamics and grand touring qualities, enhancing the Company's worldwide leadership in the Dynamic Tourer segment.

The greater supremacy all along the drivetrain, an even higher
standard of quality, an aerodynamic fairing enhanced to a new level of
perfection, and a wide range of special equipment, the new K 1300 GT stands
for Gran Turismo of the highest calibre.
It combines maximum agility and sporting riding dynamics with the ideal package for long tours. And with its engine output 118 kW (160 hp), together with maximum torque of 135 Newtonmetres (99 lb-ft), the new K 1300 GT also benefits from the increase in engine size and stands out as one of the most powerful motorcycles in its segment.
In typical BMW style, therefore, the new K 1300 GT meets the greatest demands
in terms of riding dynamics, comfort, safety, and equipment.
Even greater supremacy and dynamic performance.

The new K 1300 GT is a High Performance Tourer featuring the innovative
and proven highlights of the new K 1300 S in terms of performance, riding
safety and technology. The drivetrain and suspension come largely from the
K 1300 S, but have been adapted in their specific features and details to
all the requirements of a dynamic tourer. The highlights in developing the new
K 1300 GT were enhanced riding dynamics and even greater supremacy
combined with outstanding comfort and optimum qualities for all kinds of
motorcycle tours.

Identical in its basic features with the power unit of the K 1300 S, the engine
has been modifi ed in terms of air flow and guidance. This increases maximum
output over the K 1200 GT by 6 kW (8 hp) to a new record level of 118 kW
(160 hp), with even greater emphasis given to superior torque for even better
traction and pulling force at low and medium engine speeds.

The K 1300 GT also sets the standard in terms of comfort, riding safety
and equipment, not only through its excellent suspension and running gear,
but also through optionally available, electronically adjustable ESA II
(Electronic Suspension Adjustment II) as well as features such as electronic
cruise control, an electrically adjustable windshield, or seat heating controlled
individually for the rider and passenger.
