BMW K-Bike History (K100, K75, K1100, K1) - My New Bike

[@Theillestrator1050]

LINK TO JP's VIDEO: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6THlYBqfJ57a8k So I just got a new bike and I thought i'd give everyone a crash course on it before I dive into ripping it apart and turning it into something special. None other than the Bmw K bike or "The Flying Brick". What spawned such a massive departure in design for BMW Motorrad? What did this bike entail? Let's get to the bottom of this.

[@johnnypuetz]

Such a great time working together! :) I hope there will be some other projects coming up in the future!

[@darrellclark9596]

Dude..Im crying clickbait! You never really covered the K1100? But i liked and suscribed anyway! 😂

[@voornaam3191]

@Jamie Mills The hall sensor is not funny either. The coils will give up, the engine will suddenly stop. But before it is definitely broken, you will get that engine stop every now and then. Horrible, it can kill you in a corner, and your workshop can replace you whole K1100 before the culprit is found. That coil is worth 40 dollars, but you must buy the unit for 300. Or what it was. But that is the story of buying an old and poorly maintained bike. You pay for everything the previous owner did not pay. Just take care to buy those bikes cheap. Better buy a well maintained one. Guys saving money on brake fluid are the same guys burning clutches, wearing out distribution chains and sprocket (vroom vroom vrooooolooooom standing, without any good reason), forgetting to check oil levels, never waiting until the engine is really warm before they release the horses, and the captain Slows riding in the wrong gear and crushing the gearbox, in short, the bastard bikers. Often they don't know they are, it's always bad luck, man. If you buy such a bike, restauration is a challenge. Not just the usual parts, most moving parts are in trouble. No oil, old oil. When it's sold, it had the oil change, you never see how it was before. All bearings had double the usual load. Ready for revision. While others ride 500k miles well maintained easily. By the way, those K75's are great. But here in the Netherlands the number of guys riding them, trading them and the parts, is getting less and less. So you need to do the maintanance yourself, or you need a workshop for that. Of course there is a BMW club, but the numbers of K75 riders is going down. While it is a very very nice classic touring bike. K1 and K100 are famous too, of course. What a pitty the K serie does not have a twin and a 5 or 6 cylinder. Imagine, the K75 also a twin engine? Or a K1250 as a 5 cylinder flying brick? No, K changed to the usual engine position. Converting a K75 to a twin K50 would be fun? Just disable one piston and change the balance weight. That's a weird crankshaft, a 120 degrees parallel twin, or is the K75 firing uneven? However, would that idea work, using the usual K75 ignition and injection? Yes, it is a fun idea.

[@voornaam3191]

@@googlecontrolled Did you ever ride an ex-government K1100LT? Police or military police? It has a shorter secondary gear ratio. So it does more revs in each gear than your civil pussy cat. No need to ride a gear lower than cruising around. And if you do, you get close to max power (toward the red zone) before you know it. Also the injection mapping is far more aggressive. It simply has an other type Motronic computer on board. Overall it is richer, so fuel consumption is higher, you get more horsepower, always, not just a higher peak. Gas response is better. You really get a faster bike. I was told there was a 100 hp limit in Europe, in these days. So the police still got the full power versions. The water-and-oilpomp has an other design, for better cooling and lubricating the engine. Perhaps there are more modifications I'm not aware of. But believe me, those military police K1100LT's are way faster based on basically two mods, the "chiptuning" Motronic and the changed gear ratio's. So it's adapted to give you easier access to the maximum available power. The result is aggressive bike characteristic. Maybe because of emission constraints you won't see those military police versions in the US. I have no idea. But if you get the chance to buy or ride one, don't just say "How ugly!" and walk by, remember this is the chiptuned and lower geared version K1100LT, done by BMW themselves. I hope for you you have owned one. The civil K1100LT seems to be boring compared to this. Even your advice to rev it, does not work in first gear. In first gear you simply can not switch to a lower gear. But the military police version HAS that slightly lower gear. So at full throttle in first gear the "chiptuned" military version is way faster. There is no escaping that power. There's one drawback. Modern bikes in this categorie have developed. Lighter, more displacement, higher revs, more power, VVT, modern injection (both lean and rich mapping in one bike). But compare the price, a BMW classic can be less expensive, and as long as the parts are available, you can keep it in good shape. Most touring riders will never ride their bikes at its full potential, like the police used to do, or the track racer trying the limits of such a heavy bike. As long as the bike is in good condition and safe, it's okay for most riders. Replacing suspension or even brake system parts by modern versions could make a differrence. But you need experts, and it won't be cheap. On the other hand, it's a challenge to find a modern BMW anti-lock system to replace the first generation thing. Things like that would change the original bike, but it is very useful. Better adjustable suspension is nice for fast riding and better handling in corners. For relaxed and slow paced riders that is less interesting. Their settings might be way softer. There will always be faster and better bikes. Don't forget that those BMW's are basically very good bikes, when well maintained. How you appreciate them, is a personal thing. Objectively you can say, you can ride surprisingly fast, considered it's a heavy touring bike. In other words, there are bikes around, that are the same kind of bike, but you'll see, they handle less well than this BMW at those speeds. That was some thoughts on those old K1100LT's. Please remember the fast (military) police version. It has some awsome modifications.

Fun fact about the K75 vs K100. The exhaust tip on the K75 is shaped as a triangle noting the 3 cylinder engine and the K100 square noting the 4 cylinder engine.

[@Theillestrator1050]

Ahhhhhhh, didn't see that while looking into it, thats cute lol

[@BobJones20001]

And the 1100 had a round pipe. The 100hp thing was a farce. The 84 8 valve 100s did 200kph max with claimed 100hp, pretty real. About the same speed as my RZ350 of the time, faster than my GS850 Suzuki. Over the years they went through upgrades until they had an 1100 with 16 valves upgraded injection etc still with a claimed 100hp, only now they did 240kph. Yes BMW, 100hp yeah right.

[@MSmifffy]

And that is where the fun ends with the K series :-)

[@BobJones20001]

@@MSmifffy They do tend to be function over fun. Try a K16. The GTL version with the shipping trunk on the back looks rediculous, but surprisingly quick. Pity they mated a roaring sportbike engine to a soviet era tractor gearbox. Remarkable handling. None of this bouncy pogo handling of so many road bikes, and almost neutral feedback with tight chicken strip shredding cornering. Not a cool bike for the weekend warrior/café set however as they are simply massive with the BMW normal stupidly large mufflers. Depends what you want in a bike but I think they all compromise because we are all different.

[@apetsel]

My dad's last bike was a 1986 K 100 RT. Money got tight with a young family and he eventually sold it, always insisting he didn't really want another bike anyway. But last summer I found the same model at a dealership about an hour away, so we drove over to take a test ride. He spent almost an hour telling the salesman old riding stories and asking questions about the newer BMWs. He didn't end up buying it, but it was such a fun afternoon spent with my dad. Thanks for this little history lesson!

[@Theillestrator1050]

That's awesome, I'd have loved to hear them myself, invaluable experience. anyway thanks for watching!

[@Blballerboy]

[@Theillestrator1050]

It was good enough to graduate 😂

[@stephencartwright5046]

I was working at a BMW dealership in the UK when the K100 appeared. I always loved the engine but the bike made few friends amongst the mechanics like me who had to try to keep them running, or amongst the owners who wondered why we couldn't keep them going. You are a brave man to take one on. The electrics are a nightmare.....Good Luck.

[@jarredsegal6842]

Don’t know what your talking about them being hard to keep running I’ve got three of them that I have wrenched on and ride since they came out About the only real flaw in the bike is the rear main seal which won’t handle continuous riding at redline At this point I’ve replaced 4 of them it’s not fun and it sucks Odds are the problem your customers had is the same problem I had which was the stupid long wait for parts for the bike That’s why I bought the first k back from an auto pack claim after I’d just replaced the rear main and clutch Then I no longer had to wait for parts except for the odd ones they changed for the different models No all and all I’ll keep with my k bikes I’ve got no complaints

[@Pyrrho_]

Dailed a R1200RS in Milwaukee for years, even in winter. Rode whenever the roads were dry. Loved that bike.

[@Jack908r]

Just wandered across this video and I'm impressed. Great little history on the flying bricks. Well done mate.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

The K bikes are some of the best bikes ever. Some people have done over 400K miles on the same engine. I've had 3, and my favourite is the K75S, which I still have. It's only done 18K miles and rides like new. They can be ridden hard all day long.

[@FXDLSBrooklyn]

[@CollinMac96]

- The illestrator - I kept it bone stock. I didn’t find really anything aftermarket anyways. The only place I was able to get parts was beemer Boneyard. You’ll love the bike but them pockets better be *DEEP* lol www.beemerboneyard.com/

[@Theillestrator1050]

I'm doing away with alot of stock components and my bike seems to be stable so i'm not worried about. I find that the aftermarket components are from small companies and thus are dumb expensive, but I haven't seen any overly expensive OEM parts aside from the damn body work....good lord with THAT shit, they all want your whole wallet.

[@TheLetsagogo]

[@raybrensike42]

These K's have been known to be called the most reliable high mileage bikes BMW had ever made. I don't know anything about the new ones though. You can ride 200,000 miles on these and I'm sure much more with very little trouble mechanically. However you have to lube the driveline splines which means taking the whole back end of the bike apart all the way to the bell housing. If you don't mind doing that every 30-40 thousand miles, and lubing the back of the drive shaft every rear tire or so, you can go a real long time with only some rubber hoses cracking, maybe getting a new water pump seal @ 100 + thousand miles (it will let you know it needs one tens of thousands of miles before you really should replace it, as it begins weeping oil) and maybe some light bulbs, air filter, and sooner or later you will likely need to get the injectors professionally cleaned or replaced, and you will buy a lot of tires and batteries and oil and filters, but you will be riding and you will have a lot of reliability goin on. I've rode about 190,000 miles on the two K's I've had. Lots of pleasant road trips. They do their best on the interstate. They will love to go 85 mph all day long, in fact the faster the better.

[@buggs9950]

In Britain people put the cylinder heads off these onto the block of the classic Mini A-series engines. Apparently the bores line right up. The K bikes were made nearly 20 years and the A-series nearer 50 years before BMW started making the new Mini, spooky eh?

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

The K bike series can make a legitimate claim on being the lowest maintenance, most reliable and longest lasting production motorbikes of all time.

Great vid bro, but I personally wouldn't want to own a BMW, car or bike. Had a 330xi and they almost make it impossible to work on their products at home... that said bikes may differ. Congrats on the new ride though.

[@stevelawrie9115]

Good story. I'm glad that you're going to cafe a bike that has already been trashed, a straight one should stay that way. Personally I ride a K1300s and now they're outdated too or are they. Mine has all the toys/options that you could order at the time and the only mod is an Arrow exhaust. Even though they stopped building them in 2016 it is still a fantastic bike. Great for long distance and handles fantastic too. The only caveat is that the duolever suspension requires a bit of a learning curve. Some say that once you learn that you have troubles with a regular bike but I don't really think so.

If you are going to custom the brick, then really its that fuel tank that will need a serious redesign. Most 'cafe K100' leave the oem tank, which completely negates everything else they do. I've got one on the bench at the moment and that tank is taking 80% of my time.

Gasp! Face reveal on another channel?

[@Theillestrator1050]

I pretty much accepted that my face would have to be in a project series so I didn't even mind lol

If you want some extra horsepower, buy the government versions. Other mapping in the fuel injection. Other oil-and-water pump. Other gear ratio. Maybe more mods, just those ones I know by heart. Result? Less fuel efficient, but way faster acceleration. Maybe that would have been the normal version, if all those countries had not introduced that stupid 100hp limit. Nowadays we ride 150hp bikes, don't we? That 100hp limit was for toys, good those limits are gone. You don't want your bike castrated, don't you? Imagine a Hayabusa, a Goldwing, a BMW 6-cylinder, a big Harley with only 100hp?! Ridiculous. I had a military police K1100LT. Those ex police bikes have a bad reputation, have had a rough life, but those mods for the K's are interesting enough. But don't forget the emissions, that might be a problem nowadays. There are still no hydrogen K engines. But BMW is researching that, water emission is pretty clean.
