After the video of the BMW K 1300 R, we take a look at this GT which is perfect halfway between the R and S versions.
This is a touring bike for whoever wants to live the tourism style, fast.
The K 1300 GT model is all about BMW’s solid safety aspects, but with a regard for performance too – at 160hp it’s pretty clear that fast touring is we’re at.
In addition the bike has 135Nm, ESA II (Electronic Suspension Adjustment), electric controlled wind shield and saddle heating.
This is certainly a Gran Turismo.
