2009 BMW K1300GT

****** This unit is located at Greater Boston Motorsports****** The K1300 GT features a 1,293cc inline-four engine, delivering 160 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque. This significant bump in displacement over its predecessor results in a substantial increase in both low-end torque and high-end power, offering a smooth yet thrilling ride. The engine's responsiveness is complemented by a refined, turbine-like feel that makes highway cruising or spirited rides through twisty roads enjoyable.

 

 

The six-speed gearbox is smooth, with precise shifts, and BMW’s famous shaft drive ensures that power is delivered smoothly to the rear wheel, with minimal maintenance and maintenance-free convenience. Whether on the highway or more technical roads, the K1300 GT’s engine offers ample power for overtaking and confident long-distance travel.

 

 

One of the bike’s key features is its sporty handling, which is not often expected from a bike of this size and weight. The K1300 GT uses a steel frame paired with BMW’s Duolever front suspension and Paralever rear suspension. The Duolever front fork is especially notable for offering excellent handling stability, with less dive under braking and precise cornering, while the Paralever rear suspension provides a controlled, comfortable ride.

 

 

Although it’s not as lightweight as smaller sportbikes, the K1300 GT’s handling is remarkably agile, aided by its well-balanced chassis. The bike feels stable and planted even at higher speeds, and with a low center of gravity, it remains manageable during slow-speed maneuvers, making it an excellent choice for both experienced and less-experienced riders looking for a versatile sport-touring bike.

 

 

The 2009 BMW K1300 GT is perfect for experienced riders who want a motorcycle that excels in both performance and comfort. It’s aimed at riders who plan to do long-distance touring but still want the thrill of a sportbike when they reach winding roads. If you value technology, comfort, and strong performance, this bike will not disappoint.
