Greetings from Canada, Mats. I have a K100RT....that's the only Beemer I know. On the highway I find her very smooth...100 to 120 kph is where I normally am. She seems to like these speeds + more than farting around in city driving. I did find that there could be some odd vibration when I first got the bike. Now, maybe I'm used to it. Your love of the triple cylinder now has me curious!
Hello Chris !
Thank's for your reply.
Nice to hear about your K100RT, a very nice bike with good comfort behind the screen and fairing.
The only K100 I have driven was the naked version that come 1984 (first production batch I think) that come to Sweden. That bike had in my opinion vibbrations, but I don't remember in what speed they appear any longer.
Perhaps the engineers work this problem away, or that was a "monday" bike from production...
The RT-version of K75 is lovely to drive, I think it is nearly exact the same bike as K100RT except the engine. Maybee some small differents, but not so much.
This summer I also have driven two different K1100RT, both -99 year model, but they was little "ruff" in some rpm's, but I think it is normal for 4-cylinder engines. The handlebars at the K1100's was equiped with rubber in the mount, and I think that solves some of the vibbrations on this models.
(My old Honda CB750K -82 was terrible in some rpm's, the front lightbulb in headlamp was shaking and was destroyed after a couple of kilometers).
Then I also think it is different from driver to driver also what you can accept. For example my Harley-Davidson Sportster also shake a lot, but in another way. That I'm use to... :riding:
Again Kris, thank's a lot for your opinion, take care with your nice RT and I hope to see forward from you here on the forum !
Greetings - Mats
