Very not GS: the K1 Ultima

[MiGSel]

I used to ride a blue K1 in the 90's and I liked it a lot.
Ever since I sold that one, I've been saying:
"One day, I'll get another K1, a black one or an Ultima."

Well, here it is

 

[John Armstrong]

Very "yellow", does it attract flies in the summer

 

[MikeP]

Very nice.

I used to own a red one. I too keep promising myself that I'll have another but I'm afraid that it won't live up to the memories.

I'll be interested to know how you get on with it after the gap in ownership.

 

[Steptoe]

It's a K1 Fyffes banana

 

[Rob Farmer]

I had a red one as well

Great bikes

Me too. Red & Yellow. Loved it .........there was one for sale on autotrader this year for about 5 mths . I nearly went to see it but I thought the same as you Mike.

If I had another it would just probably be a 'possesion' to get out of the garage every now and then to show people.

That Ultima looks great though. Never seen one like it, presumably just an overseas model ??

ones myself, love the wakky look! dont like the bent legs... will get another...maybe in red, hate the black one..

It is a bit of nostalgia, but still quite good to ride. I'm enjoying it so far.
Not too sure what would happen if I rode it all day like I used to, knee- and neckwise.

The K1 Ultima is a limited series of 100 K1's, all the same yellow.
That's what makes the Ultima special. Technically it's the same bike as any other K1.
They are numbered, mine is number 88.

They were sold in Germany and the BeNeLux.

Very nice mate. When i first saw one in a shop it had me walking from the other side of the shop to look at it. Very 'Futuristic'. Not sure about some of those Belgian forest tracks though....
