Brand new BMW K 1300 S startup, walkaround and exhaust sound

This is the 2010 brand new 2010 BMW K 1300 S which I took for a weekend. The bike was just delivered to one of the BMW dealers in Warsaw and someone had to ride the first 1000 kilometers. Of course I agreed to do that. It was a pleasure, even though I could rev the bike only to 7000 rpm. Honestly, after my DL 1000 there was no need to use this range of rpm. 2000-6000 is certainly enough. The bike is brilliant, the engine is smooth and powerful... Having 175hp it was a rocket.

This particular one had everything you can get from the factory - traction control (ASC), Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA II) and so on.

To me bike was too sporty and uncomfortable. Well, after my V-Strom anything other than the RT or GoldWing would be, I suppose.

Brakes - this is where BMW crushes the competition. All K and R (and S of course) have unbelievably effective semi-integrated brakes.

I will probably take this bike for a ride again, then I'll record something more with better quality camera.

Mine has just arrived at the port and pending customs clearance, will be having all the bells and whistles as the one in your video with the same color. Can't wait :)

@KhajahQ8 The bike is awesome, I've ridden all new BMW models excluding HP2 series and must admit that the K1300S is one of my favorites. The position on 12GS suits me better but the engine is crap, so K1300S wins. All smaller in-line four engines sound like Seicento compared to this.

Definitely a good choice but you gotta be very careful, there aren't many faster machines out there, even though the bike has unbelievable brakes you have to control the speed. I'm sure you already know that :)

Imagine what that engine gear whine sounds like to that dog!
