Yep, as the title says  :rolleyes:

Going to check out a K1300S in Norwich tomorrow.   A bike that I've said I would one day have, always liked the look and performance they give.


Unfortunately I'm just not jelling with the Honda Crosstourer, don't get me wrong its a great bike, but no good for my 700 mile blasts to southern France.

My FJR eats it but mileage is creeping up, so time to explore the Dark Side  :whistling:

Good luck Ant, keep us posted, we'll be watching this space  :smiley:

Went on trip to the dark side with Ant today.........................

Still punch drunk from the experience  :popcorn:

 :mfr_lol:

But she's a beaut



I originally went to look at the one next to it, but this one wanted for nothing and had only just come in.



I left Charlie talking to a salesman about some Gloves,,,

1.5 hours later and 3 cups of coffee later I had done the deal signed and sealed, and went looking for Charlie and my other half Lorraine, who were now looking at clothing for Charlie.   Well it wasn't just an expensive day for me either !!!   :whistling:

I agree to some extent, but will be worth it hopefully.   I did sit on Charlies beast and felt very comfy, but still too upright for me atm.

Mmmmmmm.......................

Not sure if Cheryl will let me out to play with these 2 again without a wallet curfew  :help:

Picked up a pair of gloves like Debs Held ones..........but branded BMW. With a note on the price tag "made in China" the retail price was simalar to the Held ones.

Plus have some sort of breathable jacket..............had nearly 25% knocked of the price for having both  :popcorn:

Ant's new toy does sound sweet with that pipe on it  :punk:

Congratulations Ant, I'm sure that you and your new steed will be happy together.   :clap: 

When are you taking delivery ?

The Akra pipe looks identical to the onè on mine which is marketed by mother Kawasaki.   :yes:   

Make sure that you post some more pictures when you get her home

I guess the personalised plate will be retained .?

K13 R really W wide P penis  :whistling:  :mfr_lol:

It was a great ride out with Ant & Lorraine yesterday..............put a big smile on my face.  The humour banter and destination were top draw quality

Didn't realise at the start of the day that I would be the owner of new glovers and jacket either  :eek:

Product up date.............a £200 jacket is warmer than a  :censored: £ designer label one  :mfr_lol:

The K13 engine is a very strong unit, I liked the K1300 GT EE that I  owned, sadly it had other issues, which is a shame really.   :yes:
