K1 Colours

[BillN]

I am trying to put together a list of K1 Colours along with the BMW Colour and Scheme Codes.

It would be great if you could help me with any info that you have;

So far I have the following:

I think that the number must be SCHEME CODES not paint codes

Laguna Blue, (233 paint 657 Scheme),
Konigs Blue
Seiden Blue
Classic Metallic Black, (670 Scheme)
All Yellow, (Dakar?) - Paint Code 267?

Marrakesh Red, (Code ?) and Yellow - Scheme Code 658?
Blue, (? which one?), and Yellow - Scheme Code ?
Black (?) and Yellow(?)

I have also seen a Grey, (?)

The Ultima, (Code ?) in Yellow

Any other colours out there
were there two Blacks - metallic and Solid

Also any differences between Euro and US colours?

Anyone got an original Brochures of the K1 that they would like to sell?

You all know that I am an "anorak" when it come to BM colours and Codes

(PS - This posting is in the Airhead section as I do not know which section is appropriate to K Bike - no abuse please!)

Cheers

Bill,

BMBikes have a yellow listed for the K1

Yellow Paint code - 230 Schemes -230 / 640 / 829 for the R80GS, R100GS, R100GS PD, K1

There was a drab green one with grey gearbox, driveline and final drive and that the owner claimed was an 1100 K1 - could be bollocks though.

BMBikes also have the availability for each year

1990 - Marakesh red and Laguna Blue mettalic
1991 - Marakech red and black schemes only
1992 - Royal Blue mettalic, Classic black mettalic and Marakesh red
1993 - Classic black mettalic and silk blue mettalic

Just got fed up with GS Paint Codes

and I have a K1 in the pipeline and deciding on the colour scheme

I have a few K1 brochures.....but would like some more "K1 porn"

"1988: BMW K1
When designers choose to ignore all fundamental design principles and focus solely on aerodynamics, something like BMW's K1 inevitably pops out the other end of the wind tunnel. If you haven't seen one in person consider yourself lucky"

(Quote from the Ugliest Bikes web site)

The K1 really appeals to me

I knew I had some pics of mine so what about this then. I thought it was a beautiful looking bike.
