2009 K1300GT Overview

This belongs to a fellow I ride with, and after doing a bit of work on the bike he agreed to allow me to keep it for a few days to do a video. This is a fast sporty bike. It reminds me a lot of my ZX-11 from the late 90's, smooth and fast, and with a light flywheel that spins up quickly. This one has a high seat and 1" lowered pegs. I really notice the comfort of that combination-- it is so much easier on my knees. However, it reduces ground clearance in corners and the higher seating position reduces the effectiveness of the shield. This one has been well maintained and it shows. That being said there have been a couple warrantee issues that are typical for the model. These hold their value well, especially lower mileage examples. This one was involved in a bidding war when it was posted a national sales site, since the color is not common. And on the subject of color , there are many cool colours that have been issued over the years of the 12/13GT.
