    who believes this??

    BMW with 7 k on the clock? My test rides are longer than that. I guess it is damn ugly so no one will want to test ride it anyway so that could explain it.

    Its an ugly classic. Worth a bit later on in life
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    Sure can, ugly bugger isn't it. Those 7ks are probably from it being wheeled around for all those years

    its possible, the red model such as that were the slowest sellers of the lot coz of the colour, the solid colour ones look much nicer.
    when they were released they had the lowest drag coefficient of any bike made & were genuine 200kmh tourers

    There are still lots of bikes out there still in the crate or of super low mileage,some will have no real increased value but that depends on how keen the buyer is.

    I walked into Auckland Motorcycles in 1985 and said how much for cash for one of these but the then 1000cc version..they said Sticker price and i walked out..cost back then was around $14995 when a wooden 3 bedroom house in Manukau was around $42000

    $29875..the same house is now $200000+

    Inline 4 cylinder like the K100 and very good top end speed back then.

    Nope it's the flat 4 K motor. Yeah don't know who came up with the colour scheme... a Dutch designer on sabbatical to BMW maybe??.. just had a liddle schmoke and hey presto.

    7 k's seems weird but Kerry at Motohaus has it so I'd trust it
    There is nothing to fear but fear itself...and spiders.

    ugly isn't the word i would use to discribe it
    i think they are a very interesting bike
    as has been said b4, they were cutting edge as far a aerodynamics go at the time,
    its the only beemer i would look at from that era.
    just my 0.02c
    cheers, Allan.
