3,624 miles. OPTIONS: This K1300GT comes equipped with ABS, ESA II, ASC, cruise control, electronic windshield, heated grips, heated seat, BMW saddlebags, accessory outlet and a center stand. OVERVIEW: In the multidimensional world of motorcycling, the 2010 BMW K 1300 GT exists precisely at the intersection of performance and comfort. These seemingly diametrically opposed functions are elegantly delivered in a sophisticated cocktail of luxury creature comforts and endorphin-inducing power. And it is the latter that really makes the BMW K 1300 GT the perfect sport-touring motorcycle for my tastes. A quick twist of the BMW throttle rewards the rider with the torque of a big inline-four engine-80-percent of which is delivered at 3500 rpm, quickly emancipating both rider and passenger from average mortals. With that kind of low-end torque, aggressively clicking through the K 1300 GT gears is not a silky smooth experience, but one that absolutely quenches the thirst for unbridled excitement. The BMW Anti-Slip Control assures that grabbing a handful of excitement is a safe experience, although it can be deactivated as well if lofting the front end or spinning up the rear is your desired motorcycling outcome. The BMW's best-of-show ABS instills confidence in late braking situations. In the corners, the BMW Duolever front suspension has an odd feel for those familiar with traditional forks. But, once accustomed to the front end's behavior, aggressive riding is easily obtainable. The updated BMW ESA II adjustable suspension system allows the rider to stiffen the rear spring rate and adjust the rebound damping both front and rear with the touch of a finger. I preferred the stiff Sport mode for spirited K 1300 GT riding, the Comfort setting for commuting, and the Normal setting for two-up situations. Despite the claimed curb weight of 635 pounds, the BMW K 1300 GT knifes and handles like a much lighter motorcycle, which is partially attributable to the ability to instantly personalize the suspension.
