AND here's the first official picture of the 2009 BMW K 1300 R naked muscle bike (well, for a BMW anyway).
Around 173bhp on tap it tops the scales at 217kg. The usual refinements are on offer like Duolever suspension and a 79mm x 59mm four-cylinder motor.
ABS features too. Looks pretty funky and although a price has yet to be set, you will be able to see this bike in the flesh at the NEC in December and in your local BMW dealer by the end of this year. Comes in orange, grey and white too.

HERE'S THE first official picture of the 2009 BMW K 1300 S. The interesting bits are; 175bhp, 228kg. The price is yet to be announced but at least the pillion seat look nice and comfy, even if it does have a huge exhaust.

WITH 160bhp on tap, the 2009 BMW K 1300 GT isn't going to worry the GTR1400 Kawasaki with its power, but this looks like a proper tourer with oodles of poke.
Plenty of options for the bike include electric fairing, heated seat and grips and a speed limiter built in (so no more speeding tickets while chomping the Autoroutes abroad).
New colours too including red-orange, bronze-silver and black-grey.
