The 1300R looks radically different from its donor bike, featuring a host of custom-made carbon and billet parts and shaving off some 6 kg of dry weights. Performance figures remain the same, with the 1,301-cc LC8 V-twin producing 180 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque. Brabus quotes a 0-100 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 273 Kph.
