BMW K1300S FIRST RIDE REVIEW!!!

- 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.
My name is Night Rider and i am a new motovlogger riding a
Hayabusa.

That K1300S is like no other bike on the road right now. Hossick front end, paralever rear end, shaft drive, linked ABS, electronic adjustable suspension (EAS), heated grips. It is a nice bike and the K1200S or K1200R Sport can be had for not much money used and are great bikes. Very good quality. That "wishbone" or Hossick front end does not dive under hard braking, that is a nice feature when you have to get on the brakes hard and all the weight is pitched foreward. Nice review.
Bought a 2012 k13 recently, I completely agree. And it's very, very fast
No other real review besides this. Thanks. Just seen this posted on Craigslist. It gives me a retro styling look from the 80s.
Great review of an amazing machine. I've had mine 4 yrs now and it never fails to put a smile on my face
People say its more touring that sporty, but if you learn to ride and handle the bike, its more sporty than touring.
I love that hand gesture at 2:08 when you say "smooth delivery," really drives it home. Haha.
HAHA i try
My ride is a BMW, 1999 R1100RS ABS. 40,356 miles on it and still rides as if it is new. I had several other type of bikes in this is my favorite. I had to change out the front rotos, pads and the battery once. Oh by the way, I'm 63 years old. Keep it coming Night Rider.
Been riding HD for years, and absolutely do not want the cheapness and tonnage of those bikes again. Been looking at Monster 1200s (sounds like a weed wackier on steroids), Aprilia’s cost too much, as do MV’s, the other Four look way too futuristic, and the Beemer, humm, and I’m 63 too. I wonder...
Pirates lair sells extensions for shift and brake pedal as well as dropping the pegs about an inch for more stretch. Awesome bike got a 16 and I can’t stop smiling on it . Great power delivery very stable drives like a juggernaut . Thanks for sharing .
Thank you for your review people talk so bad about this bike its crazy your review put a lot about the features into perspective. Thank you.
I test rode one last summer... you're spot on with your review. Everything about the K1300 is smooth!
I guess they don't make em anymore, would love to have one though.
They were dubbed " Hayabusa Killer ", not sure why. Hayabusa has more power.
Good review man...
They still make the K1300S, though I expect a new version sometime in the next couple of years.
Haha we raced immediately after this.If your good you won't be beat.But if you're not then yeah it will get ya
The K1300S was quicker than the Hayabusa from 0-100km/h (kph) and 0-200km/h (kph) but the Hayabusa had better top speed. And the K1300R naked version was in it's time the quickest accelerating bike in the world even quicker than the K1300S. 0-100km/h (62mph) in 2.7 seconds and 0-200km/h (124mph) in 7.9 seconds in 2008.
thanks for the review night rider. I was looking at this for possibly my next ride, since I ride the upright position on my ninja 650. bmw k1300s, zx14r, hayabusa were some choices I was looking at.
I enjoy your content and look forward to more.
Thanks man i appreciate it
just thought I'd share with everyone and say I got my first bike back from the shop about a week ago and I fucking love it. if you are considering getting a bike and have a little self control, get one.
The K1300s has linked brakes meaning the hand control engages both front and rear.
Paul G. So does the K1200S. I have the Bumblebee color. Love my bike very fun to ride.
You gotta take it to the twisties that's where it shines. I take mine to track days and the thing is amazing. Definitley more maneuverable than the busa
I’ve owned the Kwak 1400 and the Hayabusa, I now own a K1300 and I’m smitten. Why didn’t I buy one of these a few years ago. It’s like going from Economy to First class on a long haul flight ✈️
Is it really that good, what do you like about it? I am looking at one right now. Thank you
Mine 2009 with quickshift and split breaksystem.
I love your videos!
Read the comments but wanted to contribute a bit. The K1300s is more like 175hp and try walking out of the dealer for less than 20k. I noticed you weren't using the quick shifter that is standard on it. Also the k13 wakes up after 7k rpm's...was waiting for you to hit it. Last thing is the breaks are interconnected, I don't think I've ever used the back break...except to wheelie...lol. I've never been on a Bussa but your cluster looks fancy, much nicer then the BMW.
The BMW K1300S cost $15,995 base and there are of course options being that it's a BMW: electronic suspension, tire pressure monitor, heated grips, on board computer, gear shift assist, and traction control which brings the price up accordingly. I highly recommend checking out the BMW R1000R and RR. The single R can be fully optioned up for $15k and I think it's a lot of motorcycle for the money.
Boxer motor yeah it's no bad.
The K1300S has a straight 4 and I don't understand "it's no bad".
+Derek Jonez You don't understand what he meant to say? Seriously?
I know the difference between a in line and a boxer motor -_-...#takeyourtime
Yes seriously I don't understand "it's no bad" It's too ambiguous for me to guess.
You do not need to use the foodbrake because you have an automatic brake split. Use the front brake and the bike will automatic brake on the rear aswell.
And this bike has quickshifter so you do not need to use the cludge schifting up.
@@josew2007 Really? So when you hit the front brake it engages the rear as well?
Great beginner bike for taller riders that has some previous experience!
I just bought a 2009, yesterday. I had a 2006, K1200S, several years ago.
I'm looking at the 2010.
How do you like it and what bikes have you had before? Thank you
You'd like it even MORE if you were to have hit the "shift assist". No clutch, just bang gears and HANG ON! I should know as i have a K1300S. Far superior machine to ANYTHING Japanese.
Kenneth Wise According to consumer report they consistently rank lower than Japanese in reliability.
Kenneth Wise I
As per Guido,use the quick shifter and linked brakes
30 seconds into this video and I was thinking 'KntRder just jacked that dudes bike.'
I missed if you said the bike was 1300cc's or not bro. And do you think it's faster than a busa in a race?
We did race and no its not faster
1300cc i believe
Night Rider aight thanks. homie! how come your boy doesn't post videos anymore? Yah boy from texas? i still watch his shit! I seen the one where him and some dude ran from the police the other day haha
Beezy Talking Shit
Who is that?
It's VERY great, not just regular great. J/K. Coo little review bro👍🏼
Thanks
Has a unique sound, would love to ride it. I'm sure it could make any casual rider far more than happy. BMW is expensive, though. I was quoted at $10,000 per year for insurance on this bike when I was like 19-20, haha.
Oh it's a beast but you'd never know it's so calm and refined
It's less than $16k.
@Derek: I was more talking about maintenance and relative cost of repairs vs a comparable import bike, rather than one time sticker price. I could be wrong, though. I had a BMW R1150R that I rode for two years, a much cheaper bike than this, and still was impressed at the ongoing costs. Don't get me wrong, they're great bikes and Beemers are built with maintenance in mind. Stay on top of it and they'll last forever. The K engine is no different and decently powerful. However, more power could be had for less money. Probably wouldn't charge past 100k miles no problem like the K1200R, K1300S, etc could, though. But you still pay. More than I did for a previous Kawasaki, which admittedly was not sport tuned.
Edit: And the insurance quote, I was told, was just the insurance company's way of saying they didn't want to insure a young kid on that kind of horsepower. However, I got a much more reasonable quote on much more horsepower, second hand. The used part is probably the important part, but still. Anyway, I mostly just always found that incident funny.
I believe u don't need the clutch to upshift on this model
Nice bike!!! My bike of choice is the BMW and the Busa. I don't think it can take any Busa (my opinion) but I do believe it you are not into that but want a strong edgy bike to get some ride thrills it is a good bike. Let us know how the "Get Down" gets down. A little Kool and the Gang for ya. I bet you caught that Ole Schooler!
I agree with you bro the bike does look clean.
Its very nice
For what they are their quite cheap you can pick up a 20,000 mile example for about 5-6 grand
Always been a fan of BMW Fan. Atleast on the motorcycle side of things. It looks really clean and right when you got on it I noticed it looks really skinny compared to the Busa.
It kinda looks like a GSXR From the front
+EnKay Moto GSXR and KTM 390 like a hybrid
Nice honest review. Thanks bro.
No prob thanks
Cool review. Thanks
Engine noise is giving shivers down my spine.
This guy references everything to a Busa. Is that all the only other bike he has ridden?
No
Why are you using the back brake anyway. They have dual braking.... Only need front
hope u guys had some white castle :D
I haven't eaten there in years
me either
White Castle is better than McDonald's now foreal.
Panther Black I believe it
that bike looks so futuristic
Yeah its a nooice design
+Night Rider yes 😄,is it true Honda might end the production of the cbr600rr??!
yoyo base
What i dont get it
+Night Rider I saw this the other day www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/june/honda-cbr600rr-killed-off/
yoyo base
Dang its true though 600s and 1000s are very close in price.
Nice bike I see you having fun
But watch out for them mean REDFORD COPS
what kind of exhaust was on it? and hell yeah i could tell from the vid it was a smooth riding bike and rev matched real nice!
+Night Rider exhaust is an SC-Project matte carbon fiber oval slip on.
Would love to flex a beemer bike dawg...
I do have a question here. Right now i am earning 2 BMW bikes. There is the K1200RS with about 131 HP and i am not sure about the power but i guess it is 118NM. My absolute favorite is the other one HP4 100ccm with about 200HP and i think about 112NM. I am now thinking of selling the K1200 because she has or appears to have way more "power" without RPM and she is just way smoother and much more fun on Highways and Cruises than the HP4 is... I bought the 1200 because of cruising and i really enjoy her.. And now i see the K1300S with about 175HP and a bower of 140 or 150NM or whatever... I am thinking that in the same RPM Range this one is even compareable to the HP4 and maybe faster bacause when the HP4 has to much power and is Lifting the front Wheel i think the K1300 will be more power, more weight and she is defenitely longer.. So basically she will be able to bring more power to ground, right ?
Long story the hp4 is faster.
I am sorry if i was leaving a wrong therm. The Story was not about "hp4 over everything." I just asked for advice from someone who has ridden b1300 or 1400ccm hyperbikes to tell me if it is possible to get the Feeling i amn searching for. i want more power and i believe that the hyperbikes do even have way more in common than the hp does... at least on lower rpms... i just think a zzr or a busa will deliver a more linear and way earlyer pull that this sudden the hp4 or he rr does... i am looking for somethign beeing compareable and even able to travel in higher Speed .
Great video!
Thanks
Great video 👍
Thank u
Tel and I96 two thumbs up
You gotta remeber its shaft driven not chain driven that has a lot to do with it. Also what year is your Hyabussa my cousin has 2017 i rode it never had a jerking problem at all.
Just realised your thumbnail basically says hiboosi (K1300S!) lol Honda CBR front and we all know what a busa is 🧐💭
What a rocket
Nice review. Hayabusa and ZX14r comparison would have been good
Thanks
I know this is a old comment but with the k1300s doesn't it have quick shifting or is it that the newer models
Lol you took a screen shot from your editing program for this video. I can see the pause button under the picture :)). But damn that bike is clean!
Yup I need to work on my editor skills
XD
Too bad this bike 🏍️ is no longer in production!
It’s a nice bike!
great video.
Thanks
Awesome video
Thanks that means a lot coming from jesus
+Night Rider you're welcome
Come si chiama quella strada che hai percorso?
Hey I'm about to buy used bike for 800 it rides may need lil work goin to be 1st bike Yamaha r6 wit engine mods
"It feels like a powerful 600." - you having a episode of some kind or are you on "powerful medication"?
Как можно оставлять отзыв о мотоцикле не умея им управлять?
I just realized something that would have been cool. What if you did all those "why so and so riders suck" videos on a borrowed supersport, or 250-300 or liter bike. Would've been cool.
I already thought of that but i couldn't pull it off!
Night Rider ahhh. what happened ??
+CVSR just can't get access to all the bikes in time
HOWSMOOVISIT?
Nice review! ...was your right foot hitting because it's got that flat 2 engine?
Thanks.I think its the engine case not sure what to call it
+Night Rider ...just wondering because I see a lot of BMW bikes with that engine, where the barrels stick out of both sides, & I've thought about that being an issue!
GotDave?
No this was not that type.I know what kind youre talking about now.
The K1300S has a 1300cc straight 4 not a flat twin.
For reference BMW makes motorcycle with 8 different
engines.
1300cc straight 4 --- K1300S.
1000cc straight 4 --- S1000RR and S1000R.
straight 6 ---- K1600 series.
Air/oil cooled flat twin ----RnineT/Scrambler.
Watercooled flat twin ---- R1200 series.
Parallel twin
---F700GS & 800GS/GT/R.
650cc Single ---- F650GS.
300cc Single -- G310R.
They are thinking about the BMW HP2 Sport, which has a boxer engine, aka flat twin.
Nice bike looks expensive you never mentioned the price. Do you own any other bikes?
$16k
With all options, you're looking at $21k-$25k. Mine was just north of $23k and I swapped the Akropovic system out for a Remus one.
Did you forget about the quickshifter??
Didnt know it had one but dont like them anyway
Night Rider how could you not like them? so much faster shift, plus not so much fatigue on your clutch hand.
I don't like anything that takes control out of my hand.I like to be one with my bike.I think quickshifters are lame.
you must be the only person who does not like them!
I'm fine with that
what camera do you use, it's amazing!
Gopro hero 3 black edition
beautifull bike, but needs the quickshifter
It has one.I don't need it though
Night Rider ok, but it's not a matter of need, it's a matter of fun 😃 great bike btw, I was thinking to buy a used one...
Riding TusCanY Gotcha it would have helped against a McLaren I raced haha
I like it
I'll buy one for ya
Night Rider OKAY! I'll pm my address and I'll be waiting on it to be delivered lmao
sweet bike, do u know if it has intergrated braking?
No idea
What is intergrated braking?
a few corners would have been good.....
Ricky Coles No real corners around.It was an impromptu ride anyhow
power band seems extremely linear
I'm it seems the power kicks in at high rpms
Just curious... have you ever ridden the ZX-14 yet?
Would be interesting to see how you compare it to the Busa.
ZX-14R Rider Surprisingly no.I might have to arrange that.Id love to ride one
Please do ... would love a video, and your thoughts on it.
ZX-14R Rider Thanks im definitely going to try
I think you'll like it. I had a hayabusa from 03 to 06, then the ZX-14 came out a little later.
Did a test ride on one soon after, absolutely awesome ride... absolutely great on the freeways.
Had one for a couple years... miss it. :(
I'll have new one approximately April.
Still love the Hayabusa for sure!
But I love the ZX-14 just a bit more :)
Safe ridin! 👍🏻🏍
ZX-14R Rider Ill have to get on one and rip it
What you think ya or no
ya
oh wait about the r6? I can't say man without really looking at it
Looks like you're not too far from Rosenau
I hate that place
+Night Rider Better than Nicholson's
Danny Fraser
Never heard of it
In Ann Arbor off Jackson
"Very great" review
Thanks
I want one these bikes but not willing pay 20g for a new one, or over pay for a used one. I think that bmw's biggest down fall is that they spend way to much time redesigning concept bikes and adventure bikes into pretty much the same thing. like for instance the 650,700,800gs pretty much the same bike just tuned different. the r1200rs could have easily just been a inline bike 3 or 4 cylinder and been a much better bike. I test rode the 1200rs and to be honest I would ride a camel though a mine field before I got back on that bike again. I'm on a f800gt, and my bike feels and handles much better then the 18,000 dollar 1200rs. my f800gt and the k3 are the only bikes that are in bmw's line up that I really like. If I were 20 years younger or even 10 I would throw the s1000rr in the mix. I'm strongly considering just staying with my f800gt. It suits my needs but if I decide to go bigger then the only other choice I'll have is the K3 if I stay with bmw.
yummmm white Castle..... ohio??
Michigan
Lol. Not a lot of torque? It has 103lb ft! That's far more then any 600cc bike. 173hp too. This thing ain't no slouch.
Nice review. Buuuuuut I'll keep my hayabsua though.
Me too
how tall are you?
Over 6 foot
Hi. do you ride dirt bikes?
No
A poweful 600???? lol!!!!!!!
It's about $16K
I Well its pricey but it delivers so i can see someone buying it.Thanks
Also, you and a couple of others are inspiring me to motovlog in my old age.
Stephen Childers
Thanks im glad i could inspire u
That is only the base price options raise that.
Dawg is that telegraph road???
That is.... Motor city stand up!!!
Yup
i know jus never seen any one moto blog so close to my neck of the woods!!...thats whats up motor city stand up!!
+The Real Young Frizzle Yes sir I ride in the city often
You have balls driving down Telegraph like that lol
Why is that lol?
+Night Rider because that's the city border. Aggressive cagers and minimal police presence lol then the intersection of 96 doesn't help
Thats my favorite riding conditions LOL! Seriously
+Night Rider then you are as crazy as your videos suggest
Redford police always have people pulled over on telegraph near that White Castles. lol I like the BMW but I'm hearing some real maintenance issues with them on different forums. It's a dealer on Sheldon near 5 mile that allow test rides.
No doubt it's definitely down on power compared to the busa, especially torque
HORSEPOWER
BMW K1300S HP: 142.9 hp @ 9500
Kawasaki ZX-14R Ninja: 183.9 hp @ 10,200 rpm
Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa: 166.3 hp @ 9500 rpm
TORQUE
BMW K1300S HP: 87.2 lb.-ft. @ 6800 rpm
Kawasaki ZX-14R Ninja: 108.9 lb.-ft. @ 7500 rpm
Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa: 101.2 lb.-ft. @ 6900 rpm
The ZX-14 is a monster! love that bike.
To be fair the BMW K1300S is getting on in years and isn't their newest sport bike. You should give the BMW S1000RR or S1000R a go. Should be able to get a test ride at a BMW dealer.
+Derek Jonez those numbers were just a copy and paste from a motorcycle.com article of a shootout between the 3 using their dyno, they could be wrong
I think they made a mistake since the BMW reaches top torque much higher in the rev range. Of course the numbers they give are at the crank, but still. "175 hp (129 KW) at 9,250 rpm""103 lb-ft (140 Nm) at 8,250 rpm"The K1300s is around 20 - 30 lbs lighter.
+Derek Jonez don't forget also it's the only shaft driven one so it has the most drivetrain power loss between the 3 in relation to crank and wheel hp
Wtf I just wanted to watch all details, not ur irritated sound
BMW makes nice shit but 16k I don't know? For that kind of money I would probably choose something more sport than tour but that's me. PEACE
test driving? really dude come on! lol
what was the price of it??? foot hitting the engine case would be me saying nope nope nope to it lol
It was a friends used bike.They dont even make them anymore i believe
They still make them. It's less than $16k base price, but there are many options that raise the price.
