Design and engineering
The edition uses Alpine White, Lupine Blue metallic and Night Black, with carbon-fibre covers and HP rider and passenger footrests. An Akrapovič silencer, gearshift assistant and electronic suspension adjustment feature in the published package. A brushed-metal numbered badge on the airbox cover identifies the limited series. Its equipment should be checked against the original market specification.
Production and edition scope
The 750 figure is the announced HP Package edition limit. It is not the total production of the K 1300 S model family. Local naming may describe the package differently, so the numbered identity and original order specification matter more than a seller’s short title. A later registration date does not establish a second 750-bike run.
Identifying an authentic example
Check the VIN, original invoice and numbered airbox badge together. Carbon covers, an aftermarket exhaust or HP accessories can be added to ordinary motorcycles. Authentication should establish that the machine was supplied as the limited package, then identify which original parts remain. Record regional equipment differences and any substitutions rather than assuming a single checklist proves identity.
Collector significance
This edition represents BMW’s approach to a fully equipped sporting road motorcycle rather than a stripped competition special. Its collector appeal depends on preserving that original package and its documentation. A condition assessment should cover the actual service and modification history, alongside the completeness of edition-specific equipment and supplied accessories.
