Even more dynamic from every angle.
The K 1300 S stands out clearly also in its looks from all other models in the
market, making an even more sporting and dynamic appearance through
its leaner fairing. The overall design of the new K 1300 S combines power
with elegance and sportiness with perfection even more than on the previous
model. Apart from clearly contoured surfaces merging into one another
with their fl owing lines, the upper section of the fairing 18 millimetres or 0.71"
slimmer and therefore even more sporting than before highlights the
dynamic look of the new model.

The different design and contours of the upper fairing section refl ect
the muscular, athletic character and the agility of this sports motorcycle even
more than before. Around the headlight the upper fairing section forms a
black, almost grained surface referred to as the “Split Face” offering an even
more sporting appearance by dividing the large painted surfaces and the
upper fairing on the K 1300 S.

The black intake funnel standing out clearly also disconnects the upper
section of the fairing in its looks, emphasising the sporting appearance of the
machine. And matching this visual highlight, the hydraulic reservoirs fi tted on
the two halves of the handlebar for the brakes and clutch now come in smoky
glass look.

A gill-shaped air intake and modifi ed colour sections between the black,
satinated fairing wedge and the side surfaces on the fairing make the
lower section of the fairing look even lighter and more sporting. The optical
emphasis on transparency and lightness on all visible technical com -
ponents on the frame, suspension and the wheels underlines the claim of
BMW Motorrad to absolute leadership in technology.

Around the cockpit and leading to the fairing on the main frame, black trim
panels again provide an additional optical touch. And last but not least,
the new, disconnected fork bridge looks even lighter and more dynamic than
before.

In its design the K 1300 S is truly unmistakable, following the successful
design of the former K 1200 S. The new model clearly stands out as an
absolutely unique machine also within the BMW model range. But still the
