Test driving a 2009 BMW a K1300S.I give a review while having a spirited ride.The bike i normally ride is a 2007 Suzuki Hayabusa.
This was a very nice bike i was pleasantly surprise d at how smooth the throttle and gearbox was.Rev matching was a dream and engine braking was medium strength not hard not soft.Whether thats a good thing depends on your preference.The shifting was very smooth with no noticeable jerks.Not a lot of torque it kinda felt like a 600cc supersport as far as power delivery slow building with a punch at the higher rpms! The suspension was excellent and what you would want from a sport tourer.It soaked up the bumps with ease.The seating position felt akward at first but within minutes you feel right at home and it is extremely comfy and good on the back and no pressure on the palms.
The brakes are very good as well.Handling is a little clumsy and the bike feels like it has a high center of gravity.This is felt especially at low speeds.The gauge cluster is wonderfully simple and sleek which is right up my alley.The biggest gripe i have is that annoying engine case placed right next to your right foot and brake.You will find yourself hitting it MANY times.Im sure with enough time you can adapt but it was a pain for me.All in all its a very good bike and Deceptively fast.Its a sleeper for sure.
