That would be the new K1300R. I've always found those bikes interesting. I like the innovative technology, but the styling just doesn't do it for me. It's kind of like a 2 wheeled science experiment. I find it intriguing, but wouldn't want it in my garage.

It may not be for everyone, but at least its not trying to be any other bike. I like it.

I actually dig that bike. It's on my 'when I'm rich and famous' list

Like it, because it`s different

CougarSlayer · October 08, 2008, 05:55:17 AM

Yeah definitely on my would like to own list after a few thousand miles of test riding.

I'd rock it if i had the money its a very unique look. I like it a lot!

Its cool but they make me think of Bill the Cat.

Not sure about the R version but the K1300S is 175HP and 105 Ft. Lbs. even at 100Lbs. heavier than a Monster that thing would be fast (in a straight line at least).

That bike is Bad A$$. Bet it wont be long before we see one on the big screen in some kind of Sci-Fi flick

I believe the K1300R and K1300S have the 175hp version of the engine. The sport-touring K1300GT is tuned for 160hp and a slightly different powerband. The R and S will be the first bikes offered (by any manufacturer) with a quick-shifter.

I really like the K1300R...

the black version looks like something out of a mad max film.

Wasn't the 1200 in the last Resident Evil movie.

Well, I test rode a K1200 a year ago, and it was stupid fast.
Handled good too, considering the weight.

Not pleasing to my eye, and, yeah, Bill the Cat.

There was a BMW in it, but I thought it was the R1XXXGS model ~
