So, bit the bullet the other day and placed a deposit on a BMW approved used K1300S with Dynamics pack Should be arriving this Sat and I'm really looking forward to it, first bike change in 4 years
That's going to be a GREAT bike, just watch your right hand! As I discovered on my K1200, a total rocketship needs some serious restraint to ride day-to-day accident said:

Superb choice. Well done!K1: will these do 220 miles to a tank? 80% done at bike motorway speeds

Any fans of the VFR here? Latest one seems quite tidy
Get the 1200.It's a missile .
Power delivery is amazing and the sound is
I might be biased.
On a serious note, I wanted a bike with some pace for commuting (15k miles/year) and didn't want to do chain maintenance every week. So the short list was the VFR and K1300S. The VFR won it easily on fit & finish for me.
J B L - they won't manage 220 miles on a tank without some very serious right hand control, a lot of down hills and a willingness to run on vapour.
200 miles from normal riding is possible with fill ups normally happening between 170 and 180 to limit the possible of being caught out. I have done just over 200 miles a couple of times and not had to push but I didn't enjoy the experience.

Actually really enjoyed my last ride on my street triple this afternoon. Think I'll be back on a triumph at some stage, if only for the triple noise
