Meant to eat miles all day long
We have seen a few BMW K1s here on RSBFS. Mike shares some info back in 2015, “the K1 was produced in limited numbers and bought by even fewer buyers. Despite the fact that they were not sought after by the BMW faithful (or anybody else), those that have owned or ridden the K1 praise it for all the qualities you would expect from BMW: good fit and finish, high grade components, overall usability and lack of performance. For all of its spaceship good looks, the K1 was meant to maximize its use of 100 HP for cruising purposes. The bike is heavy (500+ lbs) and suffers some heat build-up as the result of the inline four buried under the multi-piece fiberglass bodywork.

The K1 does sport the first instance of the BMW Paralever swingarm, which incorporates both the swingarm and the drive shaft in unison and removes much of the typical drive shaft jack that plagues earlier examples of the marque. In cruise mode the K1 is relatively efficient and within its design envelope, meant to eat miles all day long.

If you don’t like attention when you ride, perhaps this is not the ride for you. For all others, these are relatively rare (fewer than 7,000 produced), and most have high miles and/or bodywork damage (after all, there is a LOT of bodywork).”

I have to say, sport touring sounds fun. We only have experience at the track, fun off-road rides in the woods and long days touring the twisty Vermont roads. (Okay, when I say ‘we’ it is mostly Red. I like to ride the ’72 R5C Yamaha around 40mph, lol, so I can take in all the scenery. Red can wait for me at the junction.) We have never actually packed our bags for a real tour.

With only 4,223 miles, I’m wondering if someone would buy this and tour it all over the country? Or park it to keep it pristine?

Good luck to the buyer and seller!
