BMW K1300 GT or Honda ST1300 ABS?

[Vizion]

The new K motor is a little vibey, I had a ride on one on Saturday at the Morgan & Wacker ride day. Nice bike though really nice turn in.

You might want to throw a leg over the Yamaha FJR1300.
That rides like it's on rails, really comfy & a good screen that keeps most of the windblast off you really well. Has been my pick so far. The honda of course is very nice as allways

Thanks for all the info guys.

I'll do a test drive on the bmw and let you know how it goes.

ASF is such a good forum for info, thanks all once again.

Nun included.

I was all set to buy the BMW until I read this.

I'd heard of some recalls about the brakes, but this sounds serious.

Have you thought of the ZX1200 Kawasaki? My brother in law dropped over today and he was on his. It really is a mothership but a very tidy unit. Nice usable power with tonnes of room for panniers

Hey GG,

Why would you want a Harley? Did you see the news over the weekend? Bikies being tested for drink/ dope etc. Why be harassed all the time?
