BMW K1 Motorcycle - Street (1988-1993)

The BMW K1, produced from 1988 to 1993, was a distinctive sport-touring motorcycle renowned for its aerodynamic design and advanced technology. It featured a 987 cc liquid-cooled longitudinal four-cylinder engine with Double Overhead Camshaft (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder, utilizing Bosch electronic fuel injection. This engine delivered 100 horsepower (74 kW), or 95 hp for the USA market, and 100 Nm of torque. Throughout its production run, the K1's core specifications remained largely consistent, with no major mid-cycle generation or engine changes. While the K1 itself was a significant evolution from the K100, featuring a revised engine with a four-valve cylinder head and Bosch Motronic management, these were foundational to the K1 model, not variations within its 1988-1993 period. Variations were primarily limited to color schemes, evolving from bold combinations to more subdued options by 1991-1993. Technological advancements included optional ABS brakes and the Paralever rear swingarm. Q: How can I ensure this part fits my BMW K1?
