BMWK1 1989 - 1990

　　In 1989, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K1, a fully-faired sport touring motorcycle in its second production year. The bike debuted in 1988 to replace the BMW K100 and was manufactured until 1993 in over 6,900 units.

　　The 1989 motorcycle came in the same shape and form as the previous one, delivering the exact visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant modifications except for color alterations.

　　It also packed the same standard fittings, like a full fairing with a large square headlight, a small windscreen, a sizeable front fender that covered almost half of the wheel, a side stand, and three-spoke alloy wheels.

　　The 1989 BMW K1 was powered by a 987cc four-stroke, four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 100 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 100 Nm (74 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.

　　The bike's engine was married to a five-speed manual gearbox that delivered the power to the rear end via a final shaft drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 240 kph (149 mph).

　　From top speed to a complete halt, the motorcycle relied on two 305 mm braked discs with four-piston calipers mounted on the front wheel and a 285 mm brake disc with a single-piston caliper mounted on the rear wheel.
