TIV,

Interesting that you are contemplating a USA K bike. My white '92 is a Canadian K100RS. It has a headlight on/off switch and the speedometer/odometer is in kilometers only.

So my brick had 48,000km when I bought it.

Should have NEVER sold my '93 K1100RS..had it in great condition. Long story.

John

The Canadian bikes seem to be the same as European bikes then. My K75RT, wich came straight from the Fatherland, has the speedometer/odometer in kilometers, and it also has a headlight on/off switch.

TIV,

So what is going on with the K1100RS you are looking at? Buying? Not buying?

If not....

I know of an '84 K100RS that I could get for about $2600 (or less?) with less than 18,000 miles. How much to ship it to you?

John

I am going to take a closer look at the K1100RS. The owner say´s "make me an offer"... I will make him an offer that I think is fair. It is my opinion that this bike needs a complete overhaul from A to Z. We´ll see.

Thanks John for the offer. The problem with importing bikes is not the shipping, it´s the customs fee, taxes and VAT. In short, if I buy a bike in the USA it will have doubled in price when it´s in my hands.

I would however consider it carefully if it was your white K100RS Smile.
