k1 in modern colours
77% of the k1 were sold in quite shocking laguna-blue/ yellow and marrakesh-red/ yellow.
18% of the k1 were sold in classic-black/ silver.
It means that 95% of all of the k1 were sold in 3 colours only.
Even as a k1 enthusiast, I got bored of the three most sold colours and the condition of the paint
also became increasingly unsightly after many years anyway.
So I decided to try something different and realized soon, inspired by BMW, that the currently available modern colours suit to the k1 very well.
I actually like the modern colours better.
