Impressively, previous owners of this K1 have put more than 90,000 miles on it – Flying Bricks are known for being quite reliable but the exotic K1 variant typically gets less use than its touring siblings like the RS or LT. Still, it’s very cool to see that someone enjoyed this bike, and now it’s your chance to.
Less than 7k examples of the K1 were sold in total – I like to pretend it’s the great grandpa of the S1000RR. If you want more details (or my opinions on the bike), here’s a review I did a few years back when I got the chance to ride one for myself. This example has about 92,000 miles and the seller has gone with what they call a low price to reflect the mileage as well as a potential ABS system issue, as those can be expensive to fix depending on the issue. Or…just ride it without functional ABS! These bikes frequently develop cracks in the lower fairings and especially front fender so I’m impressed with the condition of this bike, which has obviously been ridden quite a bit.
