Rider Profile

Best ForThis bike suits experienced riders who are comfortable managing a powerful, fast-revving inline-four with strong midrange and top-end punch.
PurposeIt's built as a sport-touring flagship, blending big power and Duolever-equipped stability for fast road riding and long-distance blasts rather than pure track duty.
Rider FitAt roughly 254 kg fuelled and with a firm, sporty riding position, it demands a taller, reasonably strong rider who's confident handling its heft at low speed.
CharacterThe K1300S rewards confident, assertive riding with effortless high-speed cruising, strong brakes, and a shaft-drive drivetrain that shrugs off long miles.
Not Ideal ForIt's not the right choice for beginners, short or lighter riders, or anyone wanting a light, nimble city commuter or an off-road capable machine.

2014 BMW K 1300 S Sport Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 820mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2014 BMW K 1300 S Sport, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
