The BMW K100, produced from 1983 to 1992, marked a pivotal moment in BMW's motorcycle history, ushering in a new era of four-cylinder power and sophisticated engineering. This family of motorcycles, featuring a 987 cc engine, was available in a variety of configurations to cater to diverse rider needs. The K100, a naked version with no fairing, offered a raw riding experience. The K100RS, with its sporty fixed fairing and lowered handlebars, prioritized performance and agility. The K100RT, equipped with a full fairing, aimed to deliver comfortable touring capabilities. Finally, the K100LT, featuring a higher windscreen and additional amenities, represented the pinnacle of luxury touring. All models boasted dual front disc brakes and a single rear disc brake, with the RS model featuring a longer gear ratio for enhanced performance. The K100 series embodied BMW's commitment to innovative design and meticulous craftsmanship. All models sported an all-stainless steel exhaust system, a corrosion-resistant aluminum fuel tank, and advanced features like anti-lock brakes on later models, an adjustable headlight, a high-capacity alternator, and convenient accessory plug-ins. The unique engine configuration, with the crankshaft positioned on the right side and cylinder heads on the left, optimized weight distribution and provided exceptional access for maintenance. This innovative arrangement, coupled with the use of a shaft drive system and a single-sided swingarm, contributed to the K100's smooth operation, precise handling, and remarkable durability. The combination of these engineering choices resulted in a motorcycle that offered both power and refinement, making it a popular choice for riders seeking a versatile and reliable machine.
