Did you read all of the comments?  Several non-believers there. :giggles

Yeah, I think it's fun to read the gamut of feelings about the K from a wider sample of motorcycle nuts (as opposed to motorcycle nuts who live and breath K).

The guy whose blog it is, I liked his reverence.

We got them in my town. I am impressed with the K1. I have not had the opportunity yet to ride one yet .... hope to some day ... I've had the fortune to spend some time picking a friends mind, who works on the Beemer bikes, about the K1. This one was getting  some maintenance service work done ... it sure is a pretty thing.  :drool:

I was never a big fan of them and thought of them as the red-headed stepchild of the K family.  Then I bought that one on Fleabay last year.  Riding that in some canyons in SoCal and then up the coast certainly changed my feelings about them.  Aside from having the turning radius of a Mac truck (I think BMW did that to keep the mirrors from  hitting the fairing) they're a decent bike.  I forget what the FD ratio is but it's taller  and mine gets about 15-20% better mileage than other 4V Ks I've owned.
