1990 BMW K1

The iconic 1990 BMW K1 is a true classic of motorcycle engineering, showcasing its unique and distinctive reverse-canted single-cylinder engine design, a feature that sets it apart from other bikes of its era.This powerful beast combines the spirit of adventure with German-engineering precision, boasting a hefty 100 horsepower output from its air-cooled, four-stroke engine. With its full-size fairing and half-fairing for the passenger, plus its signature dual exhausts placed unusually high, the K1 offers an imposing presence on the road while still providing protection for long rides. Its monoshock rear suspension contributes to a smooth ride despite the bike's significant weight of around 540 pounds. The 'Oilhead' engine's distinctive canting backwards is not merely cosmetic; it allows the bike to maintain proper cooling, even with the heat generated by its impressive power output. First introduced in 1988, the K1 was produced until 1992, making it a sought-after collectible for motorcycle enthusiasts who appreciate both form and function.
