Not sure I understand their approach...along with many others on the I-BMW board. I currently own a K1200S (straight 4). It's uncharacteristic for a company like BMW to abandon a new engine design so quickly. This engine made it's debut in 2005 on the original S. The engine itself has been bullet proof. Some fueling issues in early versions, but that's been long resolved.
In 1200 form, the power/torque provides eye-ball flattening acceleration from almost any RPM. I haven't ridden a 1300 but supposedly they pulled the band a bit lower and raised the ceiling a bit. But, sweet mother of God....how much faster should this bike be??? The first time I whacked the throttle open at 6k rpms (red line is 11k), I almost puked in my helmet it pulled so friggin hard.
