1985 BMW K100R5
"What are we going to do?", said the engineers at the BMW motorcycledivision. The year was 1979 and sales and market share of the R100Swere dropping dramatically. Blame it on Honda the introduction ofthe CB750-4 in 1969 created revolution in the motorcycle world thatis still felt today. This affordable bike featured vertical fourcylinder, overhead valve engine that was smooth, powerful, andreliable. Yes indeed, the Japanese bikes had grown up. The "boxertwin" engine design that had powered the BMW line for many yearsbecame instantly obsolete.
Instead of relying on customer loyalty to an outdated engine design (sorryHarley fans), BMW decided to compete in this new era focused onpower, speed, and handling. What emerged in 1983 was liquid cooled,horizontal, overhead valve, four cylinder powerplant that becameknown affectionately as the "Flying Brick". At 984 cc and90 horsepower, it was to date the largest displacement and mostpowerful motor BMW had ever produced yet it still retained thesmoothness and quality of manufacturing that the brand was famousfor. Loyalists were slow to embrace this new direction that BMW wastaking, but sales soon soared and the K100 line remains one of themost popular bikes BMW ever made.
An added bonus was that this bike proved to be very reliable andrequired far less "tinkering" than the older bikes. TheK100LT was comfortable touring model capable of long range, problemfree excursions. The Ki line that followed in 1993 carried on thelegacy of quality engineering and manufacturing that BMW is known forto this day.At Bavarian Motorsport, we are offering rare find 1985 K100RSshowing only 4,019 miles.
