This pre-owned 2014 BMW K 1300 S 30th Anniversary Special Edition in Racing Red and Sapphire Black Metallic is available for sale at Euro Cycles of Tampa Bay located at 8509 Gunn Highway Odessa, Florida 33556 Phone:813-926-9937 Web: OPTIONS:This 2014 BMW K 1300 S comes equipped with ABS, Gear Shift Assistant, Tire Pressure Monitor, Automatic Stability Control, Heated Grips, On Board Computer ESA II Electronic Suspension Akrapovic Exhaust System BMW Vario Saddlebags LED Driving Lights Luggage Rack HP Footpegs Carbon Fiber Tank PadFACTORY WARRANTY UNTIL - 06/17/2017 or 36,000 miles.OVERVIEW:The latest is this K1300S '30th Anniversary' which has been created to mark the three decades since the launch of the original K, the K100 – or 'flying brick', as it became known – in 1983.So, first off the '30th Anni' gets with luxury, factory fit options such as ESA II (BMW's clever and nifty Electronic Suspension Adjustment system); its 'Safety Package' of RDC (BMW'S tyre pressure monitoring system) and ASC (Automatic Stability Control or, to you and me, BM's traction control system) plus BMW's on board computer system. Then, it gets performance aiding goodies comprising an 'HP Shift assistant' (AKA quickshifter); HP adjustable rider and pillion footrests plus Akrapovic titanium sports silencer. The finishing touches, meanwhile, are a couple of cosmetic touches (unique white/black/red paintjob and a tinted screen) plus, finally, that most obvious of all BMW add-ons: its superb heated grip system.The base bike, meanwhile, is of course unchanged. The now slightly aging, four-cylinder powerhouse of a sports-tourer first launched as a 1200 in 2005, was updated to a 1300 in 2009 and has been virtually untouched since. So, yes, if the cynic in you wonders if all this is merely an exercise in prolonging the K13's appeal, I doubt you're the only one.More magnanimously, however, nor is there any getting away from the fact that, cynical marketing ploy or not – it's actually worked. There was never much wrong with the K13 for the type of role it's intended to fulfill: grunty, slick, powermeister of a 175bhp lump; rock-stable handling (albeit at the slight cost of nimbleness) and classy BM build and comfort all add up to a motorway-muncher par excellence. So adding all those goodies was only ever going to heighten the experience – which they do. The HP footrests are sublime; the ESA and on-board computer a perfect fit for this kind of bike; the Akra can gives the big four's exhaust note a rasp previously absent.So, first off the '30th Anni' gets with luxury, factory fit options such as ESA II (BMW's clever and nifty Electronic Suspension Adjustment system)
