BMW K-Series description

I am selling my 1986 BMW K100RS. Bike has been stripped of the OEM fairings and the rear fender has been trimmed down in more of a cafe racer style. The seat is a Corbin seat that has been modified to fit the alterations to the rear fender. Also fitted is an aftermarket Supertrapp shorty exhaust and custom stainless exhaust collector made by a specialist in New Zealand. It also has aftermarket LED blinkers and Radiantz integrated tail light.

Brakes and tires are both in good condition (front tire ~90% and rear ~60-70%). The battery is new this spring and there are no engine oil, coolant, fork or rear shock leaks. The clutch splines were lubed when I bought the bike from the previous owner last year, about 8000 miles ago. Bike runs flawlessly and idles good - I ride the bike almost daily to and from work on the highway (about 80 miles per trip). I have no hesitations to just hop on and ride anywhere with this bike. The only reason I am selling is because I am looking for more of a cruiser.

The front master cylinder does drip a little brake fluid and will likely need a rebuild in the near future. I run it as is and just keep an eye on the fluid. The speedometer stopped working about a week ago, which is a common problem with these bikes. Before it stopped work, it was intermittent and would start working again with a knock on the side of the dash - which leads me to believe it is the normal issue and just a little corrosion/loose connection inside. The rest of the dash and indicator lights work as normal. The gear indicator (shows what gear you are in 0-5) does have some blotching but you can still see what gear you are in. 

Immediate deposit of $100 due upon auction closing via PayPal. Remaining payment due within 7 days of auction close, payable by wire or bank certified check. Vehicle will not be released until funds are cleared. I will work in conjunction with the buyer on arranging for shipping, however buyer is responsible for all shipping, handling and packing costs.

Please message me with any questions, or if you would like to speak over the phone.

BMW Lo Rider Concept at EICMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2008

BMW Motorrad has unveiled a bold new concept bike at the EICMA show in Milan which they call a study in design and engineering. Using the words purist and powerful to describe the concept, BMW has left nothing but the essentials present in a truly naked motorcycle. One of the goals of this concept is to custom fit man and machine.

BMW Announces Recall Campaign for K1600 Family Motorcycles

Fri, 25 Feb 2022

The recall concerns all 2019-2020 BMW K1600 models due to the risk of rear suspension link failure caused by a manufacturing defect - the strength of the part does not meet the factory requirements. This linkage may be destroyed during normal road use, causing the rear of the motorcycle to fall onto the rear wheel. BMW dealers this spring will begin notifying owners of motorcycles that are subject of the recall campaign to visit an authorized dealership for a rear suspension linkage replacement.
