I thought I'd share some photographs taken at Grattan Raceway late this summer. This was my first experience on a track and I realized that day that few of us get to experience the full potential of our bikes -- and despite a full day of wide-eyed riding and still didn't come close -- but boy was it fun! I can hardly wait until I get to go again.

Lee,
His and hers 2011 K1300S's! You've got to be kidding!? That is awesome and you clearly married well. I'm not sure if there are any differences between the 2009 (which is my bike) and the 2011s -- I did get the cam chain tensioner and all other notices done -- but I'm sure you'll agree the K13 (in any form) is an awesome bike. I'm somewhat surprised that there aren't more owners of the bike on this forum. I find it to be a supreme interstate sport tourer and not too bad in the twisties either!

Yes I did
The 2011 has the new tensioner.
A couple weeks ago I removed the silver access cover and I see we do not have the jump guard, so I'll add that this winter or spring.
We had 03 K1200RS's before the 1300S's and liked those, but with the big weight savings on the 1300S we think these are much better. And more power doesn't hurt
The 1300S remindes us of our old K75s's on steroids.

I also had a K1200RS before the K12S. Loved the RS, had no intension of buying the "S", just didn;t need it, until I rode one. There are times I get dreamy and think I'd like the RS back, but then I ride the "S" and am happy for the new(er) bike.Yes I did

Went for a 2 1/2 hour ride today to see the damage done by tornados that tore up the area Southwest of Ann Arbor, MI today. Lovely day for a ride but lots of trees down near Pinckney. Saw several motorcyclists and a few guys on BMWs (mostly airheads).

Just made a deal for this one today -- will pick it up tomorrow morning. It's a 2008 K12GT.
Wife agree to the purchase, on the condition that I sell my beloved R1100RS.
I guess you can say I've crossed over the the dark side
I'll be doing the cam tooth jump guard ASAP.

Such a fun bike!! I have an 06 same colors. Travel all over the western states with it. There are plenty of roads out there that "fit" its capabilities.
