Hey cool, a board for the old K bikes! I have a 1989 K100rs the blue and white 1st ABS special edition. I love this bike. There are some things about it that I like even more than my K1200GT. It feels rock solid like it is on a mono-rail at all times and all speeds. It is well designed with under the seat storage and easy to access everthing. Pull the clutch and watch the side stand go up automatically. Flip out handle for lifting onto the sidestand.
In 5th gear the tach and speedo needle move almost exactly the same. It's nice when you're doing 80mph and the two needles are both pointing forward at 12:00! My K1200-GT smokes when left on the side stand. My 1989 K100rs doesn't! It has pinned rings or something which took care of that old problem. WHy doesn't the K12 have that?
Anyone else have one?
