Contrary to the former model, the frame, wheel carriers and drivetrain come in
the same colour on all three colour variants of the K 1300 R. This is because
the black engine and suspension components such as the frame and wheel
carriers in Asphalt Metallic symbolise the technical character and sporting
style of the new K 1300 R.
The body colours highlight the newly designed features and the strong
character of the new K 1300 R, in particular the muscular front end
and the slender rear. While Silk Metallic stands for masculine strength
and determination, Lava Orange Metallic creates a sporting, almost
provocative touch.
Refl ecting the current Zeitgeist, white is now back in the market, nevertheless
re-interpreted in this case as Light Grey Metallic with a larger share of metallic
components emphasising the three-dimensional presence of a motorcycle
from BMW.
The graphically much more aggressive model designation stands out clearly
but in full harmony on all colour variants.
