It’s not the longer wheelbase smoothing things out. That’s the telelever front and the paralever rear suspension. The front suspension separates suspension and steering and braking forces and is easily the best street suspension I have ever owned. The Motorsports also has the Akropovic titanium/ Carbon exhaust, Forged wheels, ESA, ABS, machined pegs and the snazzy paint. That bike is STILL king of BMW’s sport touring bikes.

The sun is just rising, you're on a great bike, I'd have kept going. You have more discipline than I do. I'd like to head out tomorrow, Saturday, but I have a shop full of money to make, so it'll have to wait till Sunday. I have an R1100R, and if I doubled my HP it'd still be less than that bike. My old R100GS, if I tripled it's hp it'd just barely surpass the 1300. But Hp isn't all that makes a great bike. By the time you reach 64 just being able to sling a leg across one is quite an accomplishment in itself.

The bmw GS and the sportstourers are too heavy to have fun with imo. I have 5 year guarantee in my country anyway for the problems you mention. Another thing is that we only hear from the guys that have these problems. I have talked to many folks who have not had these problems.

If you really want to buy the cheapest bike, whatever, buy a Honda Ruckus. You can't really compare the K1300s to the ZX14R. You would have to put thousands into the ZX14R to make it comparable in build quality, creature comforts, suspension performance, and sport touring abilities.
