Years1992–1999
The 1992–1999 BMW K 1100 is the larger 1,093 cc four-cylinder tourer with shaft drive; confirm exact LT/RS equipment in the advert. Inspect final drive and shaft, brakes, injection, cooling system and charging voltage, plus fairings and panniers for use damage.

The BMW K1100 is the successor to the K100 series, produced from 1992 to 1999. The liquid-cooled 1,093 cc inline-four (mounted longitudinally) produces 74 kW (101 hp) and drives through BMW's signature Paralever shaft drive. Two variants were offered: the K1100RS (sport tourer with half-fairing) and the K1100LT (fully equipped luxury tourer with top box and plush suspension). Both are solidly built long-distance machines with low running costs thanks to the shaft drive.
The K1100 targets touring riders who prioritise reliability and comfort over sportiness. The K1100LT was particularly popular as an Autobahn motorway machine in Germany and the Netherlands. The comfortable two-up seating and comprehensive specification (ride computer, ABS) made it one of the best-equipped tourers of its era. It competes with the Honda GL1500 and (later) Yamaha FJR1300.
Check shaft drive oil level and condition; the Paralever drive is low-maintenance but requires periodic oil changes.
Inspect coolant hoses and the radiator for leaks; the longitudinally mounted engine has a complex cooling circuit and ageing hoses are a risk.
Check the ABS reluctor rings on the front wheel for corrosion; rusty rings trigger permanent ABS activation.
Inspect the handlebar wiring loom for poor connections; the K1100's electrical system is prone to corrosion at connectors on older examples.
Inspect fairing bodywork for hairline cracks indicating a previous fall, as the fairing complexity makes damage easy to conceal.
