BMW K1300R

As a follow-generation BMW K1200 is marketed in 2004, BMW re-release the two variants of the BMW K1300 BMW K1300S and K1300R. The difference, which is equipped with berkode S fairing while the ending letter R enter naked bike category or motorcycle without a fairing. Some of the improvements from the previous generation BMW offered a try even though it is physically not much changed from the preceding generation.

Overview really seems there is no physical changes that occur despite the fact there there is the small changes, such knalpotnya design. But overall not a physical BMW to become the main consideration at this time.
