Topic: BMW K100 possible buy

[scunny]

Have been offered a 1985 K100
good points, it's cheap, $500
bad points:
                "starter motor needs replacing" have done a little research, it could be the sprag"
                 
are these bikes any good, I would have preferred a twin, actually don't need another bike but the price is appealing.
looking possibly for a quick fix then flick it off but you never know.

I would go for it in a heartbeat!

I rode a friends K1 and fell in love with it.....you might not even want to flip it, who knows?

Had both a K75 and a K100 and absolutely loved them. Very different bikes to our SOHCs and I can imagine few bikes better to travel the roads with comfort and sporty aplomb than a K-bike.
