BMW K1300R #1
First Encounter
7 February 2009. The bike has arrived at the dealership in Berlin. I know there are some more weeks to wait until I will be on the road with it but I do want to have a first glance, want to see what I will get.
And there they are. Three K1300R in three colors. One of then with a "do not touch, sold" label on it. This is the one I will get.

Colors are not what I like but this will change.

What else?
The colors of the new K1300S do not look very fast

What about a black R1200RT decorated with Swarovski Cristals? Just about 35,000 Euros including 19 % sales tax.

BMW Branch Berlin is a very big one and the closest you can get to the BMW motor bike plant where all our great bikes come from.
This is what the motorbike department looks like
