The 2015 BMW K1300S Motorsport comes with a new Black Storm Metallic, Light White and Lupine Blue Metallic color scheme, with a bit of red striping for good measure. A band of black running across the top of the bike from nose to tank to tail is complemented by a tinted windscreen.

Suspension consists of a duolever system up front and a paralever rear with single-sided cast aluminum swingarm. Twin 320mm discs with four-piston calipers are mounted to the front wheel while a single 265mm disc with a two-piston floating caliper is at the rear. As with all BMW models, ABS is fitted as standard equipment.
In Germany, the 2015 BMW K1300S Motorsport is priced at €19,950 (including a 19% Value-Added Tax). U.S. pricing and availability remain to be determined.
