BMW K-Series description

I am selling my 1985 BMW K100RS. The bike has been great to me but I am looking to sell due to no winter storage. 

It is in great shape with an army green paint job and new custom marine vinyl seat. Mechanically the bike is solid. I bought the bike mid 2015, from the previous owner who was a BMW collector. Just before sale to me, he flushed the coolant system, rebuilt the water/oil pump with the updated impeller shaft and seal, and lubed the clutch and drive splines. This service was performed at about 53,000 miles. It currently has decent tires on, with about 60% or so tread remaining. The brake pads and rotors are in good condition and function properly.

The bike has had the original fairings removed to give it more a scrambler appearance. The seat was made by a friend and put on a few months ago. As you can see in the pictures, the stitching is decent though some lines/spacing are a little off. It really cant be noticed from a few feet away. I also have another seat/cowl to go along with the bike - it is a solo cafe style, which was made from the original Corbin seat and rear cowl. 

The battery is about 6 months old. The rear lights are LED, which causes the brake light to remain on, on the dash. The speedometer is flaky and lately has not been functioning properly more often than not. It will sometimes work when you hit a bump, which leads me to believe there is some corrosion on the speedo leads - which is a common problem with these bikes. The rest of the dash works as designed. The front master cylinder may need cleaning/rebuild, as it slowly leaks fluid from the bore.

Other than mentioned above, the bike runs/functions flawlessly. It starts perfectly cold or hot, and I never have any hesitation to just hop on and take a day/weekend trip.

A video of it running can be found here: https://youtu.be/Ile-sD5vMhw

The bike is for sale locally, and I welcome any questions or to come out and view in person. Buyer is responsible for arranging and all costs related to pickup/shipping

Ritmo Sereno is a Japanese motorcycle customiser specializeing in BMW and Moto Guzzi custom motorcycles. One of the greatest bikes created by them, shown to the public last year, is this BMW R100RS finished in official Bayerishe Motorwerke livery.The original bike, that was considered in the past like a sort of modern hypersport, received some radical changes that have updated the boxer powered motorcycle. It features new rims, so modern tyres can be used, a new exhaust system (2 into 1), the classic Ohlins fork with dark colour finish and the rear shock is Ohlins too.

BMW Maintains Sales Momentum into 2014

Tue, 11 Feb 2014

After three straight years of record motorcycle sales, you’d think things would eventually start slowing down for BMW. Instead, the German manufacturer continues to roll on the throttle with an impressive start to 2014. BMW announced sales of 5,438 motorcycles and scooters in January, up from the 4,818 motorcycles sold in the same month in 2013.
