when bmw launched k1 to uk in early 90s they called it: "the world's most technically-advanced motorcycle" which is pretty-much true. but the thing that sealed the deal for me was the dan dare's spaceship styling: from the ugly - but correct - front mudguard, to the tantalisingly-shaped seat tail.
I wanted to buy a CX650 as my next motorcacle, but quickly realised that I am way too big for that thing, now I am looking at K1s, kinda funny that you have the same development XD
Theres one for sale here in sydney. Gods i wanted one of these back in the day. Couldnt afford it then lol, cant afford it now coz i just bought a Z900 lol.
I have blue one. I love it!

They're stunning in person and make total sense. In photos the perspective makes them look busy, which isn't the case in person.
