BMW K-Series description
This is a rare opportunity
to own a nearly perfect 1985 BMW K100 Naked. The 1985 K100 Naked is the most
desirable year and model. These motorcycles have a well deserved reputation for
long life and reliability. Some of these bikes have been known to log over
This K bike runs as good
as it looks and is ready to ride anywhere. This is a smooth comfortable machine that will
carry you across country or around town. You could spend $20,000 + on a new BMW
motorcycle that would be marginally better, if at all. This may be the best
example in the country.
I purchased this
motorcycle in May of 2011. I have put approximately
The odometer reads 66,304
and it broke shortly after I purchased the motorcycle. The electronic instruments
on this vintage K bike are about the only weak link. Many owners end up
re-building or re-placing. The speedometer, tachometer, fuel lights, shifting
indicator and clock all are in working condition. Only the odometer quit and
should reflect accurately within 3 -
The rear mono-shock was replaced in 2011.
The center stand was
replaced in 2011.
I had a qualified BMW
Mechanic in 2012 remove the transmission and inspect and lubricate the clutch
input and output splines. These bikes have a dry clutch and this maintenance
should be done every 25 to
This bike also features a
beautiful windshield that looks great on the bike. A second smaller windshield
also comes with the bike.
The BMW Panniers, (hard
bags) are in excellent condition and they are hard to find replacements and are
usually in tattered condition. There are also new liner bags for the panniers.
The pictures should tell the story regarding the condition of this classic motorcycle.
The motorcycle is available for your inspection, contact seller to make arrangements.
The bike to be picked up at my home by the successful bidder. I am willing to keep it in my garage for a reasonable period of time at no charge to allow a new owner time to make pick up arrangements. If shipping is desired, I will work with the buyer but all costs associated with shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer.

2023 BMW S1000RR Review - First Ride
Thu, 29 Dec 2022Bavarian Bullet Credit: Photos by BMW Motorrad/Markus Jahn and Jörg Künstle It scarcely seems possible that BMW Motorrad’s lineup-leading S1000RR sportbike actually made its official public debut a whole decade and a half ago in April 2008, with deliveries beginning the following year. Even though 15 years is a long time, especially in the Superbike arena, where serious players like BeeEm, as well as Ducati, Aprilia, and the Japanese, don’t stint on investing in fast-moving high-end technical R&D in pursuit of engineering excellence, the German brand’s first-ever customer motorcycle with a transverse-mounted four-cylinder has maintained its leading edge reputation for both mechanical and electronic innovation ever since then, and the newly introduced latest version is no exception. This is because, for the coming 2023 model year, BMW has essentially uprated its existing volume production version of the bike by transplanting a good chunk of the array of technical upgrades available until now only to around 1,200 well-heeled or well-sponsored users of the M1000RR, the uber-expensive, uber-performing version of BMW’s street-legal superbike that’s been on sale for the past two years, essentially as a homologation special for Superbike racing.
Charley Boorman’s BMW R1200 GS Adventure Stolen – and Recovered
Fri, 27 Apr 2012Adventure touring documentary star Charley Boorman and his BMW R1200GS Adventure have traveled a long way together, but the motorcycle had a bit of an adventure on its own after thieves stole the bike. The stolen BMW wasn’t the one Boorman rode with Ewen McGregor in “Long Way Round” (that was a R1150GS Adventure) or the one used in the sequel “Long Way Down“. Boorman did ride it on his last project, “Charley Boorman’s Extreme Frontiers: Canada”.
2015 BMW R1200GS Receives Minor Update and New Options
Fri, 04 Jul 2014The liquid-cooled BMW R1200GS receives a slight tweak for 2015 along with new optional quick shifter and keyless ignition system. The Adventure version also gets these new options as well as new choices to lower the seat height. The 2015 GS receives the heavier crankshaft introduced on the 2014 R1200GS Adventure and R1200RT.
