[Crasherfromwayback]

i dont ussually like to ride bikes that i owned in a past life.I am gonna try one of these,i loved my k100rs

Yeah funny thing is with bikes...you may love 'em..everyone else hates them. So what I say! I've had a shitload of bikes most people would think were total shit...hell...some of them were. But I loved them for one reason or another. That's what makes me laugh about some cunts here. They'll get their nose out of joint if someone dares not love their choice of bike. Get over it.

It is a little like with having girlfriends when younger:
"Have you hooked up with Lara?"
"Yep!"
"Shit! Why? Nobody wants to go out with her. She is soo easy!!!"
"......Yeah, I was thinking bout dropping her anyhow..."

Today when older:
"Have you hooked up with Lara?"
"Yep!"
"Lucky bastard!"
"I know, she is so hot in the bed!!!"

Did not even relise that this Thread was in Classic Bikes. Cool!!! She is one. I expect that the K1 will soon start rising in value.

I reckon they are a Doozie - a real classic. I was looking at getting a red/yellow one, and hooking up a Unigo http://www.uni-go.com/ trailer in matching colours, - would be a head turner and a good way to tour with a bit of class IMHO

(Awaits the feedback!!)

I recon, that riding a K1 is a little like wearing a pink shirt. You are so much man that you can actually get away with it and make it look good.

I can remember getting excited over them when they were released. I always thought they were kind of cool. Man it was like the future had arrived.

They keep saying in bike magazines how they are to be a future collectable, there is a bike mag out right now with one in it saying that. But then why are they so hard to move on the second hand market, and why so cheap?
I had a K100RS back in the early 1990's and wished I had the money for the K1 but back then they were massively expensive to buy.
A few were grey imported to NZ around the mid 1990's and that has helped to drop the second hand prices.
They are a heck of a lot of bike for the money, not my cup of tea anymore, but in their day they were the most high tech 2 wheeler you could buy- if you had the money.

In Bahrain you will need the Uni Go to mount the air conditioner...........

The faired version looks FUCKING AWESOME.

That is all.

Oh come on now it's an old BMW motorcycle are you really saying because BMW cars are seen as a quality product that they are still good when they age. Cos they are not 10 yo BMW cars are shit and there bikes are the same

Plus 1 on that. BMW cars are POS in my experience. Boss had a 540i Schnitzer that kept falling to pieces inside.
A few staff at work have had them and sold them rather quickly due to expensive servicing and crap workmanship.
Drive train is bullet proof though.

Don't get me started onm Alpha Romeo's though

.

- Heavy. 250Kg filled up.
- A high bike. And together with the weight you need to watch how you handle her when stopping and trying to push her around.

My R1100s is also tall and at least 30 kg heavier than the CB750 it replaced. It feels much lighter once you are sitting on it and have it up from the side stand. The balance is obviously fine tuned. A couple of people have commented that it feels light once you are sitting on it.

1 x K1 on the Southern Cross to go with all the other R & K series Beemers on the run.

3 Connies, plenty of ST's and a few VFR's (800's, no 1200's as nobody is sure what they're for).
1 x GS1000 with something like 300,000km on the clock.

Oh, and a few 3 wheeled thingees: M109 trike, Can-am spyder and a 400cc MP3...

No Boss Hoss this time.
