Welcome to the forum. K1300R was never imported to the states, only Canada. There was a guy in Florida selling a Canadian one. If you live in California, don't buy it. Find a clean low miles K1300S and you will be happy. Fairings are different between K12 and K13 bikes, they will be hard to exchange. There are 13's with luggage out there. Don't jump on the first one, look around for a bit. When you find one, come back to this thread and let us know.
Hello! Is it possible to create a K1300R Sport?
I'm a new rider and user on this site, and aspire to own one of these fine bikes one day. Currently I have a 1985 K100RS, only bike I've ever owned. It is a joy to ride, but as much as it pains me to say (especially after only a few months of riding) I've already got my sights set on a K1300 as my second bike. I plan to own the K100 for a long while before upgrading though.
Anyway, I have been doing research into the K12/1300, and figure the K1300's mechanical improvements and minor fixes are worth the extra cost to me, as opposed to a K1200.
While researching, I learned about the K1200R Sport. I instantly fell in love with the look of this bike.

So I'm wondering, would it be possible to buy a K1300R from later in the model years, and then buy the K1200R Sport fairings and just bolt them on?
I love the headlight on the R's, but need at least some wind protection so I can tour. If it's not possible I'll likely go with the K1300S.
Thanks for any insight! I eagerly look forward to owning one of these bikes, maybe I'll buy it once I've got a good job out of college.

K1300R Sport??
I just bought a K1300R with a sport fairing. It looks factory fitted but I can't find the model anywhere else. Is this an official UK bike, an import or a special? Anybody got any ideas?

Just curious, why shouldn't I buy that bike if I live in California? Are the homeless gonna steal it in LA?
Might try communicating with him. Some have gone to the trouble to make "gray" vehicles usable in the US.Just curious, why shouldn't I buy that bike if I live in California? Are the homeless gonna steal it in LA?

Seat stickers were available from BMW through MaxBMW, but I believe at least some years are no longer available. This means that the seat pan is a federally mandated piece of equipment?
