K 1200 GT 2008 vs FJR1300A 2013
In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The K 1200 GT and FJR1300A produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the K 1200 GT has a clear advantage. Weighing in 7kg less than the FJR1300A, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the FJR1300A. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the K 1200 GT, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the k1200gt if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the fjr1300 if you want the alternative brand character.
