Pushing my BMW K 1300 S to Max Speed on German Autobahn (4k)

- I thought 4 years after my first (and only) video with my BMW K 1300 S it is time to produce another one. This time you get presented the "First Person View", as I forgot to put an SD card in the rear camera. So this is just opposite to the last clip, where the front camera did not work. Nevertheless I made it up to 280,12 kmh (174 mph) in the second high speed run. Unfortunately during the fastest run before I had to fuel up with the speedo beeing at 285 kmh (177 mph) the VBOX was not activated : ( . And I even was not wearing a racing combo but my stupid touring combo which made me hang on the bike like Batman.
As I do not want to risk my life or other people`s life I try to keep riding legally, which means in Germany especially on the Autobahn not to pass people on the right side and not to get too close at higher speeds to the car in front of you. Also I do not ride with full speed into the turns, as there might be a car with a breakdown even on the left lane blocking your way. Just had that a couple of days ago. If you want to see real crazy bike videos go and watch the Isle of Man TT clips or just Max Wrist`s clips... But I highly recommend not to ride like this : ) . I hope you enjoy this clip and have fun watching it!
Bike: BMW K 1300 S model year 2015 with all options including quick shifter, I got the Akrapovic slip on exhaust (db eater mounted) and sports air filters and I always use +100 octane fuel. Otherwise the bike is completely stock.
Camera: GoPro Hero 9 with external Rode lavalier micro, second cam DJI Osmo Action with no cd card mounted, because of that no images from this cam and which is even worse no "clean" engine sound.
GPS: VBOX Sport
Lut: SpectrumGrades Chromatica
Wow, what an amazing video! Thank you so much for posting this! I absolutely love the 2009-2016 BMW K1300 S!
My father's new at the time, 2010 BMW K1300 GT felt very quick with 160 HP... Your K1300 S is lighter, it has 175 HP & and it has a very nice 103 LB-FT! That must feel really quick. My father then bought a new 2012 BMW K1600 GTL that he kept until he turned 81 in 2016. He gave up riding because most of his riding buddies either stopped riding, or died unfortunately. With all the texting and driving people are doing, among other distractions, that was the final straw for him. I certainly don't blame him. Anyway, sorry for the long comment... I will subscribe right after this comment. Safe travels,

Thanks for sharing this !
Great job! I can happily say: I had this bike and I loved it. But I used it to seldom. So I sold it. But memory and proudness remain.
Thanks.
love the video, would rather listen to the bike than the techno.
Bloody awesome bike, ive sold my KTM 1190 Adventure and Blackbird to keep the K1300S, been looking for a suitable replacement for it and no matter how hard i try, there is nothing so a good thing, comfort, smooth power house, quick shifter and the best braking system ive ever had on any of my 125 bikes, ESA2 is sublime too.... LOOK NO FURTHER!
Yeah, there would be only two more things on my "wish list": First an electronic cruise control and second a blipper : )
@@ttr6611 You are right there.... off to the Pyrenees in 8 weeks on it, cant wait.
How does the K1300S compare to the Blackbird?
@@FryChicken Blackbird an amazing proven reliable bike and will always be in the history books for this, the K1300s is just a modern up to date ish version of the bird, i find the K12/13 more comfortable and prefer the fuel injection (not ridden PGMFI Bird) now have K1200S and prefer it over the 1300 as more of a brute!
@@markariewilliams I've heard that sentiment a lot, the K1200S is an animal
Bloody hell that bike is running hot ! I can see your temp gauge is right at the top, My K1300s broke down a couple of weeks ago by overheating, turned out to be an air lock in the cooling system, be careful running at them speeds as they can just cut out without warning.. Great video though !!
No it is not running hot, check the gauges at 20 seconds. You can see the temp gauge to your left beeing low such as the fuel gauge on the right. After fuelling up at 1:45 the fuel gauge on the right goes all the way up of cause. But the temp gauge on the left side is always staying exactly in the same low area from the beginning towards the end of the clip at 6:11. Temp goes only up while riding really slow in the city or while waiting in front of red lights.
But to be honest: while riding on the Autobahn I do not even look at the gauges any more. I am always riding at +130mph on the Autobahn if traffic and weather conditions are allowing it. I am mostly looking for other cars in front of me if they eventually could block my lane by changing from the right lane to the left lane. It is only when I see the warning light flashing that I would look at any gauges . . .
These bikes dont overheat unless you do the coolant replacement incorrectly. It could be a little bit tricky though.
@@ttr6611 They must have switched the fuel and temp gauges on the K1300S vs the K1200S
@@FryChicken The worst thing is they started the speedo at a different point, when you ride both its easy to get speeding tickets on the 1300s because of it.
Excuse me Sir.
I watched the movie several times but on the tacho you did' t trespassed 280 km/h. If your VBOX says 280,12 KM/h, I think that the tacho speed is the real speed. K 1300 S at this point would be the one and only motorcycle with this specific tachometer. Indicated speed is the real speed.
Moreover, I saw several movie where this bike reach in 6 gear 11400 RPM (295 km/h on the tacho).
At this point, according you wrote, and according for what I'm saying the REAL speed of K1300s is 290-295 Km/h.
What do the people reading this post are thinking?
Awesome Video! This bike is built for high speed cruising.
I have an K12S
Just bought a 2013 K1300R and it is the best bike I have ever owned.
I did get one, what a pussycat of a bike to ride!!!
Nice video, im hoping to trade up to one of these from my f800. I feel the need, the need for a K13!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Cool
Ah this is it. That song from the videos where people build junk out of dirt with sticks and their hands. Thanks youtube copyright system
I am trying to figure out why you couldn't get 180 at least
Какой расход топлива?
Is he reliable bike?
it is hard to believe that a 1300cc 175hp bike is stuck at 285kmh... my old 2002 XX , 15hp less hit the 300 so easier compare to the BM... same weight
Bmw have limiters ECU fueling and other stuff . Also blackbird speedo is well known to show very high numbers compared to gps speed 10-12 % to be exact . Bmw has 2-3% speedo error.
@@alexandrosamanatidis7825 i don't have the XX anymore (rip), i can't compare them, just the feeling. odometer always lie, but honda not so much as suzuki. i have already read few times that bmw is not totally free engine bike... it sucks for that bike price. actually, my only fast run was 280, easy to do it. hope to find a highway (radar free), of course for an other attempt.
@@manfirebirdF350 bmw is not a top speed kind of bike . It is way more of a touring bike than blackbird and Hayabusa , I have ridden all three . Anyone who cares about getting close to 300 km/h shouldn't consider the bmw for anything. I rode all three thought about it and today I purchased a mint bmw k1200s to use as a daily
@@alexandrosamanatidis7825 well, i do'nt care about the 300 as 2002 XX stop at 299, LOL. it was my daily too for 10 years. now i have the K13s
@@manfirebirdF350 both amazing bikes but the bmw has a lot more technology and is more comfortable. If someone doesn't have the money for it though the blackbird is still a solid bike .
I'm looking to buy a low milage '14, anything to look out for on these bikes when shopping for a used one? TIA
Can‘t really tell you as I bought one of the last ones available as a brand new bike and now I only got 5k miles on it… But to my mind you can buy any of these below 25k to 30k miles especially in other countries with speed limits on freeways…
You’ll eventually have the ABS pump fail. DO NOT buy a silly-expensive replacement with the same design fault, some places rebuild these pumps to better-than-new for 10% of the new BMW part. Otherwise, an awesome bike…still not parting with mine in the foreseeable future.
@@classiarius hey buddy, how can I find any shop, that rebuild the ABS modul..?
Thanks in advance..!
@@markolalic3577 you can do it yourself, its only usually the electric motor brushes sticking.
how stable is it at 280 kph ?
Had mine to 148mph and very stable. Hope to test 170mph (280kph) soon.
@@simullane7836 that's awesome thanks , if a bike is very stable at that speed then it's going to be stable at much slower speeds also even with luggage and pillion ect so that's awesome and thanks for the reply
Of cause the road should not be to bad at this speed, but concerning the suspension this is not a problem, also due to the long wheel base of this bike. I got the adjustable suspension and I put in in sports mode for speed runs. You also should be aware of brigdes, not only because of the wind but also because of the expansion joints. I would recommend to check every street section at lower speeds before riding at the maximum speed. Even Max Wrist is doing this.
But as I was not using a racing leather suite, the wind was more of a problem, especially because the 2-piece textile suite I was using this day is to wide at the arms and the legs for this speed . . . I am going to give it another try next spring with a race suite : )
