Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

BMW K 1300 GT 2009

The engine now produces 160 hp and 135 Nm. This should make further comments on driving performance superfluous. Sitting upright with the windshield extended, you can accelerate to over 250 km/h with absolute ease. Only at this point do you start to think a little about the poor engine - below this, it is simply completely underpowered, always and everywhere.

Relaxed riding feel

confident turn-in behaviour

strong engine - lots of power

efficient windshield.

Handling disadvantages in bends.

Technical innovation

heated grips

comfort

electrically adjustable windshield

traction control

ABS

positive handling.

Solution with the tank bag not convincing

glove compartment no longer available

mirrors do not offer 100% rear view
