An all-new design that was supposed to replace BMW's traditional flat-twins, the K100 arrived for 1984 restating the virtues of solidity, comfort and exemplary build quality long associated with the marque. An 8-valve twin-cam unit displacing 998cc, the brick-like, four-cylinder motor was laid on its side, lowering the centre of gravity, and mounted fore-and-aft to facilitate the retention of BMW's characteristic shaft drive. Bosch electronic fuel injection was employed and the long-stroke four developed its maximum output of 90bhp at a relatively low 8,000rpm. The K100 spawned a 750cc three-cylinder variant (the K75) and was later enlarged to 1,200cc, gaining a 16-valve cylinder head along the way. Model designations were carried over from the large-capacity twins: the K100RS being the top-of-the line sports roadster and the K100RT the tourer. Currently displaying a total of 139,208 miles on the odometer, this K100RT has not been used for some time and will require extensive re-commissioning before returning to the road. The machine comes with Swansea V5C document and is sold strictly as viewed. No reserve.
