BIKE HISTORY:
In 1990, BMW stunned the motorcycling world by showcasing its latest technology (anti-lock brakes on a bike!) in the revolutionary K1. Named motorcycle of the year by "Motorcyclist" magazine, the model came in avant gard bodywork with only two possible paint schemes: red & yellow or blue & yellow. (The yellow driveshaft and special Antera wheels are stock.) The most aerodynamic mass produced bike in history, the K1 can reach a top speed of 155 mph and run 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds with 100 hp. Six thousand K1 bikes were built between 1989-1993 with approximately 600 being imported into North America between 1990-1993.

The former owner of this particular K1 happens to be a famous Philadelphia restaurateur who volunteered to cook for the Ducati race team at Daytona (to be closer to the "action"). Consequently, this particular BMW motorcycle was seen in the Ducati pits at Daytona when Fast by Ferracci (a Ducati dealer) won the World Championship. In fact, this K1 was shipped back to Philadelphia in the very same trailer as the winning bike!

The rear pillion lifts off to accommodate a second rider and there are three storage compartments built into the bodywork to house the factory tool kit as well as miscellaneous items. Aside from ABS, other innovations include an extraordinary low drag coefficient, single-sided swing arm, telelever and paralever suspension, drive shaft, and an intercooler.

 

I can vouch that the seller and this motorcycle are prime examples. The bike is in amazing shape, it would be a great addition to anyone's collection.
