    k100rs 1985 76,000 miles
    thoughts at 200 miles, not as smooth as the xj at 65 but smoother at 85
    electric motor powerband, deceptively fast, engine heat is ridiculas

    Beautiful bike!

    You cannot ever go wrong with a Brick. Those things last forever. There are numerous examples of them with over 300K miles and no issues.

    I have 30K miles on K-bikes, and 80K on BMW R bikes.

    Jim :cool:

    I'd like to lay hands on one just to try it out for a week or so. I've always liked the K bikes.

    When I purchased my first Turbo in 83 the briks was just comming out! I thought they were awesome, but at $8000, WAY over my head.

    So I purchased a used one 20 years later.

    I still think they are great looking bikes. Ride nice too!
