There’s one on Chicago craigslist I think it’s $1900. Might need some TLC.
Interesting exhaust routing. But you surely couldn't grasp the tank with your knees and it looks like a hot seat.
R90S would be my top choice of another BMW.

More toys than space
It would either be a wreck or a scam at that price. Good plastic parts sell for more than that.
It looks a bit of a mess: https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/mcy/d/1990-bmw-1/6887362786.html

Yep, a bridge too far for me.
Just curious . . . Is that red and yellow paint on that K1 stock? I don't mind saying that's pretty fugly . . .
I'll answer my own question. Yes. Red+Yellow and Blue+Yellow seems to be the colors for a 1990 K1.

Yes, it’s stock and yes, it’s ugly. In spite of that, the ketchup-and-mustard K1s seem to be favored among collectors and K1 enthusiasts. Last summer I helped the widow of a late friend sell a beautiful blue and silver K1 with 4500 miles on the clock. Had a heck of a time getting offers and the bike sold for low$$. Note that BMW offered a wider range of K1 colors in non-US markets.
BTW, for those thinking they want a K1 as a rider—be aware that in the heat of summer ANY ride on a K1 seems like a long ride. Just sayin’...
Best,
DG

This is a 1980 R65. Not an LS, as far as I can tell. I suppose the LS has the fairing is the difference?
"1980 BMW R65 used 19,960 miles, beautiful, clean, runs great, features hard saddle bags, windscreen. new shocks, newer exhaust, cleaned carbs, LED headlight (comes with stock headlight), front brakes re-done, newer tires, newer paint, and new front springs."
I think the asking price is a bit high, but probably flexible. What would you ask for it?

You sure?
I have a pic of H standing next to the HP2 Enduro...she's laughing at the seat height a foot above her hip
Need to find it.
I've already had to pass on a couple of K1s because I don't have space in my 1400 sq. ft. shop to park one along with my 6 K75Ss and my wifes F700GS among other toys. But if I had room, a K1 would be my choice.
