BMW K-Series description

If you've never seen one or heard of this bike, you should do a search and look it up. THEY DO NOT COME UP FOR SALE VERY OFTEN.  A true collectors bike. Starts easily and runs, drives, shifts and stops well. All of the lights and electrical work as they should and the ABS shows functional. Mileage will adjust slightly as it gets ridden.  It has a couple of flaws which I would be happy to explain via phone.  The blue body work is all original and in very good condition, the silver portions were originally yellow but was professionally done in silver.  This is the main thing that keeps this bike in the 4 digit price range. Brand new battery and fuel pump.  I also have code correct BMW Laguna Blue touch up paint. Tires have over 75% tread.  Fork seals do NOT leak.   

So I know everyone says they have a rare bike...this one actually is. There were only 6,921 ever produced and only 671 brought into the US. This bike is the 3rd bike (by VIN #) ever brought into the states. It is a 1 owner bike that has 15,060 original miles on the odometer and is in very good condition. I have a set of stock silver BMW K1 decals to go with the bike.  As aerodynamic as this bike is, it is definitely NOT a flying brick!

Check your vintage bike price guides and look at the current value and this is for sure one bike that will NOT depreciate. This is the first model of motorcycle to offer ABS and this bike has that option. It also has a very rare option on it, the black engine covers which were made for the Swiss market for sound and heat dampening. They were $850 and I've only ever seen 1 picture with them in it...they are in excellent condition with all tabs and mounting screws intact.

I have researched this bike and can tell you lots regarding it's history, provenance and condition and am willing to answer any questions or need specific pictures. I've also got some extra parts...clear open title. Please use the VIN # if you wish to investigate on your own.

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Author of five books and thousands of articles, Clement Salvadori’s newest tome takes its reader on 30 varying trips around the world. From kick-starting a 500cc Single at 17,200 feet in the Tibetan Himalayas to riding to Pamplona, Spain, in 1960 to run with the bulls, the 416-page book is an adventure-travel enthusiast’s dream. An excerpt from chapter one, Afghanistan 1973, reads: “While working at the American embassy in Rome I decided that after five years I did not want to continue my career as a diplomat.

Long Way Round camerman tests ebike in London rush hour

Fri, 26 Mar 2010

WE'RE MORE USED to seeing him busting a gut on a fully-kitted BMW R1150GS, so testing a silent, non-emission electric motorcycle must have been a weird experience for 'Long Way Round' cameraman Claudio Von Planta. The clip gives a great impression of how a first-generation ebike copes with London's traffic two-up.
