The engine power was transferred to a six-speed manual gearbox with a wet multi-plate clutch and a final shaft drive that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 252 kph (157 mph).

A Duolever suspension softened the wheel on the front end and was stopped by two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers. In contrast, the rear wheel was cushioned by a Paralever suspension and controlled by a single 295 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper.

The BMW K1300S was a sports motorcycle introduced in October 2008 that replaced the K1200S, which was in production since 2004. Compared to its predecessor, the K1300S featured a slightly larger engine, more power, newly styled fairings, and a new exhaust system.

In the visual department, the bike was fitted with features such as a full fairing with a single headlight unit, a small windscreen for better protection, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a single exhaust system mounted on the right side, and Y-shaped 10-spoke lightweight wheels.

The bike's suspension system comprised a Duolever on the front and a Paralever on the rear, considerably increasing maneuverability and comfortability. It was also available with a second-generation Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) and an Anti-Spin Control system.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm floating discs and four-piston fixed calipers on the front. The rear wheel was fitted with a 265 mm disc and a dual-piston caliper, offering excellent stopping power.

Underneath its bodywork, the 2009 BMW K1300S packed a 1,293cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, delivering an output power of 175 hp with maximum strength at 9,250 rpm and 140 Nm (103 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.

In 2023 (at the time of writing), the 2009 BMW K1300S was for sale with a price ranging between $5,500 and $9,000, depending on its condition.

In 2008, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1300R, a naked motorcycle manufactured from 2008 until 2015 as a replacement for the K1200R. The bike's engine was slightly modified by a British company and had an exhaust butterfly flap for boosted torque and an improved exhaust sound.

The K1300R was considered a muscle bike, which was a slang term for naked machines that excelled in high power output and fast acceleration and featured BMW's optional ESA-2 electronic suspension adjustment and a conventional indicator switch instead of the usual BMW three-button configuration.

Some of the technical highlights of the K1300R included the newly tuned Digital Motor Electronics that matched the highest environmental standards, an optimized charge process that offered greater performance and lowered fuel consumption, an optimized maintenance-free shaft drive with a new two-stage drive shaft, and much more.

In the performance department, the 2009 BMW K1300R had its soul in a 1,298cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 173 hp with maximum strength at 9,250 rpm and 140 Nm (103 lb-ft) of torque available at 8,250 rpm.

All the power generated by the engine was converted into speed by a six-speed manual transmission that spun the rear wheel to a top speed of 266 kph (165 mph).

For braking purposed, the bike packed two 320 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 265 mm disc with a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel.
