K 1300 GT 2010 vs FJR1300A 2016

If straight-line speed is your priority, the K 1300 GT takes the lead. With 14 HP more than the FJR1300A, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 1kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the FJR1300A. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the K 1300 GT, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the k1300gt if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the fjr1300 if you want the alternative brand character.
