For Sale: 1990 BMW K100RS 4V
Location: Seattle, Wa
Miles: 55,187 (88,800 kilometers)
Price: $1,100 (firm)
100hp, dual overhead cam, four valves per cylinder, water cooled, ABS, heated handgrips
Selling my 1990 K100RS 4V to someone looking who doesn’t mind scuffed up bodywork or for a project bike.
The ugly:
While taking the bike off its center stand, the bike tipped on its right side. The right-side bodywork suffered scratches and chips and the mirror either needs to be epoxyed into place or fitted with a new mounting bracket. The frame, gas tank, rear of the bike are all scratch free (I had a saddle bag on during the drop that protected the rear). Here's a link to read about the drop on a previous post (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,9279.0.html). Turns out the issue was just a bad battery (previous one was 7 years old). Bike comes with new battery and has no starting issues.
The great:
This bike rocks! I bought it in early 2016 while stationed in Germany with the Army. The previous owner was a K Bike fanatic and had recently completed full mechanical services of the bike. Valve timing, new clutch, drive shaft lubrication, the whole nine yards. His girlfriend decided it was too heavy for her so he sold the bike to me after completing the services. I’ve put a few thousand miles on it since then and this bike has been the most reliable and sweetest running K Bike of the three I’ve owned. The drop did not affect the functionality of the bike, and she still runs as the smoothest K Bike I’ve ever ridden.
Why I’m selling:
I have another K bike and I was looking to sell this one before the tip. I am 5’6” and this bike is sadly too tall for me, I’m looking for a shorter touring bike so that I don’t have a heart attack every time I come to a stop light.
Features:
-clean Montana title
-Well maintained with maintenance history (Excel file format, feel free to check it out, I had to translate it from German!)
-Heated hand grips
-Functional ABS
-Full BMW touring luggage available if requested (additional cost, side case x2 + top case)
-GPS with mount available if requested
-Brand new battery
-Euro-specification bike legally imported into the US under the historic vehicle rule. I have documentation going back to the original owner in Germany in 1990.
-Painted pearl white at the factory, the original owner had the bike repainted green and yellow prior to delivery in 1990. The paint has held up well over the years except in areas affected by the drop.

There is a small John Deerelogo on the left side battery cover, was the original owner a JD rep?

My wife and I love the paint, we ride bikes for fun and this bike looks as fun as it rides. It's polarizing, but this bike from the 90s and it looks the part. :riding:

Not that I know of, but the previous owner put that sticker on it due to the color similarities

I dig it. Wish it was closer!
