This page is a comparison between the latest 2010 BMW K1300 S 2nd generation Suzuki Hayabusa. As it was in 1999 the big bore sports style competitors have been updated to compete for your cash. There are now less choices in this class since Honda does not make a sports style high capacity motorcycle anymore (aka Blackbird). So in reality we only have the choice of the Kawasaki ZX1400, BMW K1300S and the Hayabusa.

The BMW K1300 series currently consists of three models. The K1300R is a naked version, the 1300GT is the touring focused model. The K1300S discussed here is the more sporty version. The latest versions come with lots of electronics to presumably help you ride better. In terms of sports riding, in reality neither the K1300S or Hayabusa can truly compete with the newest 1000cc super sports motorcycles on the track.

The Hayabusa and the K1300 are niche models, essentially for riders who want great handling, some comfort, with some excitement on the track, straight line speed and ultimate road performance. In essence the old 'universal motorcycle' made by  Japanese manufacturers and now German.

The BMW K1300S is a nice motorcycle, looks good albeit conservative in design and hence targeted at those types of riders, lots of power and comfort. It's relative high price means it is not very popular. Lots of opinions on which motorcycle is better so it is really up to you.
