Noob to K's

[flatlandflyer]

Hi fellas,like to thank all for the wealth of stuff here!!
  As the subject says I'm a noob to K's as of last month(perfect time to buy a scoot in Neb.)I found a 89 K100RS with 28 k on the clock(but I'm sure it's been further than that,see all speedo/odo problems with these dogs.)It runs out very well,had good tires on it(well Metzler lasertecs,)decent tread left on them. I've had to replace the battery,and am making some easy mods.
  I'm not new to anything else or @ least not very much, started riding M/C's in the early 60's an 80cc Suz.@ the ripe old age of 10 or so.Have ridden/owned Brit stuff ( 2 Triumphs, a pile of Royal Enfeilds,and a string of Jap bikes,3 or 4 KZ 1000s,an 1100 shaft KZ[the K reminds me of this the most,is just a lot more refined] the last Jap a 93 VFR 750 F,in pearl white.)I took the VFR to Colo. to service a condo for the winter,it liked up there so much it decided to stay, refusing to return to the land o flat,I needed something to ride up & visit it with so the K came to stay with me.





Thanks again for all the info!!!! Gimpy

As you can see I'm a sucker for pearl.

Welcome.  That 88/89 SE paint scheme is a nice one.

That is purty. Glad to have you aboard.

Very nice indeed, every time I see one of those SEs I say why can't I find one. I have been looking for years and have even considered getting one from overseas as there weren't many sold here in Oz.

Thanks for the welcome fellas.
  Rick, I've to be honest here,I didn't know that the SE existed,I just fell into it :). The fella I bought it from said something about it being a one year thing after the deal was all done.

Yea, back in the day, BMW was having a struggle moving them off the showroom floor and they decided to create a special model.  I don't recall the precise figure, but they were deeply discounted as well.  I came close to buying one at the time, but the dealer pissed me off, jerking me around with stupid last minute requirements and I decided to back out of the deal.  Always like the livery though, and that is a very nice example. You're a lucky guy!
