Exhaust ($1200 option) MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to
present this handsome and rarely seen 1990 BMW K1 motorcycle. This
is the true classic BMW enthusiast's bike, residing with the same
owner for 16 years! Finished in a dramatic Lapis blue finish with
brilliant yellow wheels and graphics (1 of only 613 imported to the
U.S.). TheBMW K1is a motorcyclethat was designed by BMW as a
high-speed sports-tourer. This bike was recently serviced with new
fuel pumps, filters, fluids and battery. Designed to change the
motorcycle media and buying public's mind of BMW as only a
manufacturer of flat-twin tourers. Also, the K1 is the first
motorcycle to be offered with ABS (anti-lock braking system). Based
on the previously introduced BMW K100, the K1 was designed for
comfortable high-speed autobahn cruising at speeds of up to 150mph.
The radical aerodynamic design was a seven piece fiberglass
structure. It was mated with a stiffened chassis, that included a
single sidedParallevers swingarm, designed to stop shaft drive
induced pitch and dive under heavy acceleration and braking,the
first use of this on a K-series bike.The K1 differed from the K100
in engineering terms, being designed for high speed and hence with
many components either replaced or upgraded. Retaining the K100's
bore and stroke, the K1 was BMW's first 16-valve engine,using four
valves per cylinder with the camshafts acting directly on the
bucket tappets. Other improvements over the K100 included higher
compression pistons, lighter connecting rods and a lighter
crankshaft.This combined with digital Motronic engine management
system resulted in a 10hp gain over the K100, producing 100hp at
the crankshaft at 8,000rpm. The stronger tubular steel chassis was
mounted on wide 17-inch FPS front wheels, 18s in the back, with low
profile radial tires. The rear suspension was a Bilstein shock
absorber acting on a single-sided Parallever swingarm which pushed
the wheelbase out to 1,565mm. On the front were twin 41.7mm
Marzocchi forks. The brakes were four-pot Bremboover two-pot on the
K100, with a pair of 305mm drilled discs. An Anti-lock braking
system was optional in all markets except North America, where it
was standard. Powered by BMWs awesome 987 cc liquid-cooled
longitudinal four-cylinder mated to a close ratio 5 speed manual
transmission, this bike also features Staintune stainless steel
performance exhaust system, original tank bag with both rain
covers, original saddle bags with K1 rain covers, tool and tire
repair kits, 3M protection around box lids, Cee Baileys Headlight
protector, newer fuel pump, filters, fluids and battery and more
(all said, over $2,400 in options included). This Beemer is the
best of both worlds... a piece of motorcycle history for the street
or the track that you can actually GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!...er,
RIDE!!! Motorcycle is sold as is and is mileage exempt. The
motorcycle is being sold on a clean and clear title. PLEASE CLICK
