If there's one thing that the motorcycle
riders of the world agree on, it's their right to disagree on everything.
And so, you are looking at an extraordinary
machine. Abike that brought about something almost unheard of in motorcycling: aconsensus of opinion.
In poll after poll, in country after country,
rider after rider selected the BMW K 100 RS as
the machine they would most like to own. .
Even Jap<;3n's fabled buff book, Car Graphic,
made it the most celebrated motorcycle in
Japanese history by devoting an entire issue to.it.
An honor never accorded a motorcycle before.
Now when have you heard of the Japanese
and the Germans agreeing on a motorcycle?
The answer, of course, is never. But the K 100 RS
is a machine brimming with never befores.
There has never been afour-cylinder motorcycle in its tlasS this light. The K 100 RS weighs
just 496lbs.
.
There has never been amotorcycle with a
fairing like the K 100 RS. The RS can slice
through the wind at speeds other bikes would
18
need 20 to 30 more horsepower to achieve.
There has never been a motorcycle with a
power band like the RS. Ninety percent of the
K 100 RS's torque is available at only 3500 rpm.
There has never been afour-cylinder
motorcycle this easy to maintain. For example,
a complete engine overhaul can be performed
without removing the engine from the frame.
There has never been afour-cylinder motorcycle guaranteed for this long. BMW's 3-year,
unlimited-mileage warranty lasts thr'eetimes longer than virtually any in the world today. *
Rnally, and unfqrtunately, there has se~
dom been a motorcycle produced in quantities
as limited as the K100 RS.
This, after all, is a BMW The object of the
same sort of hand-craftsmanship, precision
engineering and tediously thorough testing that
has characterized the Bavarian Motor V\brks
for over six decades.
Considering its limited numbers, those interested in this rYl-:>r'bi
should get to BMW deall~~
