The new BMW K1300S, they got 2 yesterday.. the orange one did not even make it to the showroom -sold-!!! …oh and believe me this bike can vomit on the fastest bikes around.
i have seen the k1300r racing a Hayabusa and a 1000gsxr, both couldn’t overtake it -at least as far as my eyes could see-
But I’m sure the Hayabusa passed it after 1km that’s when the aerodynamics starts working is the Hayabusa favor.
