About this model
About the Bmw K 1
The BMW K1 is an aerodynamic sport-tourer powered by a 987cc liquid-cooled inline-four lying horizontally in a steel spaceframe. BMW launched the K1 in 1988 as the flagship of the K series and produced it until 1993. Its distinctive feature is the fully enclosed bodywork with an exceptionally low drag coefficient for its era, combined with Bosch Motronic fuel injection, a first for motorcycles in this segment.
The K1 targets sporty tourers who demanded both comfort and performance. With 100 hp, optional ABS, and a slightly more aggressive riding position than the K100LT, it was the fastest production BMW of its time. Historical rivals include the Honda CBR1000F and Kawasaki ZZ-R1100. Due to its age, a thorough service history is essential; the fully faired bodywork makes pre-purchase inspection more challenging.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the Bosch Motronic injection system for fault codes and correct operation; ECUs and sensors are difficult and expensive to replace.
- Inspect the bodywork panels for cracks and poorly secured mounting points; the fully faired cowl can hide underlying damage.
- Ask about the condition of the optional ABS unit and hydraulic brake lines; rubber of this age should be replaced preventively.
- Check the camshaft chain and tensioner; K-series chain tensioners can weaken after decades of use.
- Assess the cooling system for leaks at radiator hoses and thermostat; corrosion in the coolant circuit is a known issue on ageing examples.
