Smart move, Motorrad. That's going to bring a lot of fresh faces with wallets into the dealerships.

BMW Motorrad + Roland Sands: Concept 90 Motorcycle

Looks like they'll issue a production version  :clap:

It'll sell - big time - given the recent 'retro rage.'
1985 K100rt
1983 Honda VF750F

98% of all Harleys ever sold are still on the road.
The other 2% made it home.

Side note: The current issue of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics has an article on the K Bike as an 'emerging classic.' Check it out; B&N carries it.

So, I guess if I keep a hold of the ol' girl a bit longer she'll become a 'classic' and no more just a damned old bike.  :bmwsmile
