Can you easily wheelie with him just with throttle ?

[beemerkay]

@HuGivzaFak although it's a very fast bike, it's not a wheelie machine, for that you should look into supersport (600cc) or superbikes (1000cc)

[ColtonKuhn1]

why did u cover the back seat? i leave myn stock because i like how it looks and because i have a passenger alot

[gatewaykiller1000]

Hello, I am really looking into buying this, but the price is not on the website, how much do these babies run?

[risingchucky]

Ahh I don't like these big ocean cruisers. But I want to see something about the K16 inline 6 cylinders.

[select899]

That's not a bike, that's pornography

[elmasnousado]

Its exactly the k1200s but with 100cc more xD

[beemerkay]

@elmasnousado not even close. the K1300S is much more sophisticated and rides very different than the K12 and also corners better. it's better in every way possible, including more power.

[bhfireblade]

why did you buy this bike and not the Honda VFR1200F?

Also, your accent sounds Iranian?

[beemerkay]

@bhfireblade VFR? You're joking of course. That POS? The 600 pound, BMW wannabee? Lame!

[bhfireblade]

@beemerkay what makes this bike better than the VFR. I honestly don't know which bike of the two to get. Motorcyclenews did a shootout and VFR pipped the BMW according to them. Also, is BMW's customer service after purchase any better than Honda? Thanks, and keep up the great vids.

[beemerkay]

@bhfireblade I think the question is what does "better" mean.

Power? K13 wins

Acceleration? K13 wins

Amazing list of options? K13 wins (electronic suspension, abs, traction, tire pressure, quick shifter, computer functions and more)

Braking power? K13 wins

Overall weight? K13 wins by almost 50 pounds.

Cornering? K13 wins

Honda's new VFR is a touring bike that doesn't allow touring comfort or range. It also has a relative mellow performance. TEST RIDE A K13S and decide for yourself.

[altratronic]

@beemerkay "TEST RIDE A K13S and decide for yourself." Don't forget that your local Honda dealeship most likely won't allow you to test ride anything. My BMW dealership also gives me a loaner bike when mine's in the shop. Try getting that from a Honda dealer. Finally, I've now gotten out of three tickets, all because I ride a BMW. "Nice bike" they say right before they warn me about speeding and let me go... :)

[chrisinthai]

what is the k1300s top speed?

[beemerkay]

@chrisinthai about 180mph

[dsaldanha]

Have a F800ST and am seriously considering trading it in for this one in exactly this colour. Absolutely amazing machine. Going to the show room now!

[jcookeman]

That is an amazing bike! And, I like how you did the video, too. I'm getting one of these...the bike that is!

[nvonli01]

beemerkay,

I would like to first thank you for sharing such a beautiful bike with others. I'm drooling!!! Would you be so kind as to tell me what is the brand or where can I get such a cool passenger seat cowl for the BMW K1300S?

Thank you in advance.

[astonmartinvee8]

Very nice indeed. Great video.

[rammers2006]

Are they the heated grips Shiva or gip puppies?

Great vid. Bike mag in UK reviews this bike vs. Busa vs. ZZR14 next month!!! Showdown!

[beemerkay]

Hi, Thanks for your comment and also thanks to others for their comments. Much appreciated.

Almost all BMW K bikes in the US are shipped with heated grips. Visually you can't tell if a grip is heated or not unless you spot the heated grips toggle switch.

But you are right, as I am using Grip Puppies. They make a big difference in comfort specially for those who put lots of miles on bikes like me.

[tresmurcielagos]

Great video, great bike. I have a 2004 Boxercup Replika, a fantastic bike, but the K1300S tempts me badly Love your BMW Superbikes website by the way.

[canadianroot]

one of the downsides of HD on YT is the insufferably long download time. and i'm using a macbook pro. i had to quit after a few minutes of hang time.

found your link from cameralabs....nice video, from what i saw of it!

[beemerkay]

Hi, YT normally loads OK. But once in a awhile it may lag but when that happens just reload the page and it will load OK.

Also it has to do with your browser cache. If you cache is full, it takes longer to upload. If you clear cache the browser will then download much faster. Or at least that has been my experience.

[crpwdm]

It looks like it already has a Sargent seat on it. Why are BMW seats such crap?

[noddyhasbigears]

I got mine in black and grey... beautiful machine.  Available now in the states as stock (subject to options desires). Clocks are different stateside.. but this machine is the new standard in motorcycles and it kicks a "Busa" ass (I am told!)

[MRSketch09]

Great vid. Beautiful bike.

[labalbi]

What does "back order" means ?

[beemerkay]

it means it not available now and there is a waiting list for it.

[rcoles82]

yeah i had to wait 4 month to get mine

[alepeopen]

Anche qui in Italia è introvabile... ho appena venduto il mio corredo Pentax per passare al micro 4/3... attendo news dal mio rivenditore di fiducia.

[finstervonshamrock]

Fantastic quality. Wish I had a cam like that. Too beaucoup for me.

[labalbi]

Great.quality...where did you buy it ? In USA ? Cant find it there...

[beemerkay]

Thanks! This camera is very hard to find in the US as it has been on back order for a while due to high demand. I bought it from a store called Roberts in IN.
