Show us your K bike

[Motorcycle Michael]

I've just picked up this lovely K100RS 16v.
1991,26k miles and was a one owner bike up until 2013,now 3.
In the flesh you'd think it was 2 years old!
It's nice to own and ride a "time-warp" bike especially to experience a tight handling bike that shows no signs of wear.

I'm very pleased.

What a cracking bike - they really did build the early K bikes to a high standard.

It's a shame that BMW now build down to a price.

Thanks and now I've had chance to give it a good clean it's even nicer.

You're right about the early K Bikes and build quality. I'd go as far as saying that they were over engineered-something I doubt will ever happen again!

Love the pictures of the all the early K bikes.

To balance things out, here are a couple of my new one.

Both bikes look great

How does the build quality of the K100RS compare to your K1300S? I am a K1300R owner myself and have owned the S in the past - both excellent bikes. In terms of finish/rust on a par with a 2009 Ducati I owned a few years back which was reasonable with a bit of attention but I have no experience with BMWs older than 1998.

Ross,

The earlier post was not mine. I went from a 2008 GSA to the K1300S last month.

I was just balancing out the thread

Great colours on your new K12S.

They only do the Motorsport colours on new K1300S bikes. They've dropped all other colours.

Were you coming from queensferry to mold direction yesterday lunchtime? I just bought one and was on the way back with it on a trailer and spotted one like yours. Was a bit surprised as hadn't seen many about before buying mine. Will sort a pic or two out soon.

Coming from a gs, it is beautifully rapid (not had chance to use higher revs yet as I seem to reach the stat limits in the blink of an eye!), though going into 1st still clunks good style (will be starting it in gear I think) And can't get cruise to work ( or even register for that matter, maybe switchgear).

New PR4s fitted so just need to get them bedded in
