The BMW K 1300 GT is a unique touring bike without equal. And with good reason it has set new standards in road performance and long distance capability: the most powerful touring machine in the BMW Motorrad family scores in all of the performance, comfort, and road safety categories.

Now the K 1300 GT is also available as an Exclusive Edition. Highlighted in matte granite grey metallic paintwork, with matching top case, and lettering on a blue background -- sure to be an eye catcher. In addition to the usual K 1300 GT qualities, this special model presents first and foremost options galore! Greater safety with xenon light, ASC, and RDC; refined performance with ESA II; greater comfort with the heated seat, heated grips, onboard computer, and cruise control; and more stowage space in the generous chassis-colour top case. All of these features come on top with this special K 1300 GT model!

This Exclusive Edition K1300GT should arrive in the Showroom by the end of July 2010.

The limited editions celebrating 30 years of the GS have hit the showroom floor. The response has been incredible and we have one remaining 1200GS available.

**update July 17 -- all the 30th anniversary models are gone from our showroom.
