from prototype 1986 ... to pre-series 1988
K100VV testing
Yeah, what a lucky day!
The picture was made during one of the k1 gathering in May 2008 - unforgetable to me!
Many thanks to Henry and the BMW dealer Holzleitner made it possible to see the prototype!
Enjoy some of quite rare pictures of the k1 prototype from 1986!!
The k1 prototype is more slender than the
production series k1 and has achieved a class leading aerodynamic value,
with an even lower drag coefficient of CwxA = 0,28 and supposedly a max speed of 256km/h.
It would be a great pleasure to ride such a prototype...
A lot of changes have been made before the series k1 was launched to the market:
The complete fairing, head light, speedo, paralever, brake-disks, steering bar, etc. were modified.
The advantage for the series k1 are the carry-over parts used.
