Been using the K1 quite a bit recently …. and I love it. Despite its 30 years of age I find it surprisingly modern riding, comfy, good brakes, good handling with a surprising turn of speed.

I find the 16 v engine needs more revs than the old 8 valve motor to get it in the flow but once she does it's easy to find it flowing to silly speeds :)

Went up the Horseshoe Pass the other day and there was a guy taking pics of the bikes. Found him on Facebook and he very generously gifted me the pics he'd taken :D

Nice, had one, back in the day, very easy to ride fast on, don’t know how I kept a clean licence.
 
Had a K1100RS back in the day in a sky blue colour, never bonded with it. Felt too much as if you were sitting on top of the bike. It was nearly to clinical and you were doing illegal speeds without realizing it in total silence. Actually preferred my first Trophy 1200 over the K1100 so sold it...

I do like the look of that K1 and great action shorts!
