K 1 Write up

Cheers Mike. I've book marked that. :thumb2

Only one real quibble and that's the claimed fuel range of "some owners". Oh and the featured bike could do with a clean. :D

I thought that 400 miles seemed a wee bit optimistic too...:eek:

Tankbag ordered yesterday BTW and at a nice price too compared to MW...:thumb
 
I doubt that you'll be able to source my next update - lowered footpegs.

Sherlocks broke a K1 recently and it had modified pegs. A bit home-made but after some judicial angle-grinding, filing and new paint, they look reasonable and will be going on the bike for a try-out soon.

Just about two inches lower should make hoiking my feet up to the pegs that much less troublesome. It remains to be seen how far from the rear brake that puts the offside one but as I don't use the back brake after the initial dab to put the warning light out, it may not be much of a problem.

If they work, I may even go into production. Half-a-dozen pairs should satisfy worldwide demand. :D

PS If you want me to collect your tank-bag from Ocean just say so and I'll store it until you come down one fine day to sort the hazard switch, fit the replacement throttle housing I have here and we can add the tank-bag clips to the tank.

The lower pegs sound good and I could be interested, what with my 're-arranged' ankles...:D

Thanks for the offer but Ocean are posting it on to me...:thumb

I'm finished with MOD now so...when we get a half decent window in the weather....:rolleyes: ... I'll be down.

Surely the K1 like the all the other BMW's of the time had a dry clutch and a shaft drive. Not what the specs indicate at the end of the article so I must be wrong.
 
You'd have thought that if asking more than 'Top Dollar' he'd have washed the bloody thing...:blast :rolleyes:
 
Free K1 well nearly!

For the price of a Raffle ticket (And maybe club membership) you could win one (same red / yellow model as in review only 24K miles) at the BMW club Nat rally at Framlingham, Suffolk, August bank holiday weekend :thumby:
