2012 BMW K1300S HP

BMW is synonymous with quality and the price tag that trait commands. For enthusiasts of the Bavarian brand, paying a premium is just part of ownership. But when MSRP’s aren’t enough, there’s always an upgrade worth bolting on. For 2012, BMW is offering HP and Dynamics packages for the BMW K1300S. The special edition model BMW K1300S HP (high performance) Package will be available in early 2012. 

2012 BMW K1300S HP has lots to offer even purely visually. What is more, underneath its exterior of brilliant Alpine White non-metallic, mysterious Night Black non-metallic and glowing Lupine Blue metallic is the beat of a powerful heart derived from the basic model, with numerous extra technical features added: high-quality HP Carbon attachment parts for the front wheel cover, an HP footrest system for rider and passenger, an Akrapovic sports silencer and a paddock stand. The bike's refined outer appearance is perfectly supplemented by an exclusive series embossment in brushed aluminium positioned on the intake silencer cover featuring the name of the model and the individual serial number.

The package also includes automatic stability control (ASC), electronic suspension adjustment (ESA II), tire pressure control (RDC), HP gearshift assistant, on-board computer, heated grips and paddock stand. The perfect package for everyday riding and for longer trips, too.
