I really liked the K1300S in this colour I saw at the show :

But it's not an option !!!

Seems a bit daft to display a bike in a colour that won't be available !


But the digi dash is an option I believe :

Maybe not an option in the UK only

You're right !

Just had a look and it's an option in Europe but we get a 'light grey metallic' instead.

But we do get this one as well as Europe :

it's a cracking colour....might see if I can get a tin of it and do my own bike up....

...the orange is howling...????

...assumption the dealers dont get to choose the colours ??

I'm sure it comes in a nice ALL black version...cause they cant get the silver paint to stay on....

....Will be interesting to see if the extra cubes cure the probs they have with the 12.

...As there no outlook for a new blackburd or 1000cc VFR many honda types have been tempted.

....Plus I recall the blackburd, was a bit of a streeetch to the bars...well for short areses anyway.


...So does Jon replace Mike who replaced Mr Dillon???

 

[AndyT]

That looks like a nice option as a replacement for a Blackbird or similar with the added bonus of the shaft drive.

Lets face facts if you want a big multi cylinder motorcycle your gonna buy Jap,unless your loaded Liked the Gt looked a real mile muncher.:

I had a K1200S before I got the GS. Excelent bike and just about as good as any of the big Jap multis I had. Certainly very ridable and comfy. Still ,the price is a bit high in comparison.

I heard they've put a revolving door on the office....

 

[Garryc]

...so what happened to the bold Mike, did he jump or was he pushed??
