When BMW introduced the K100 series in 1983, it marked a radical departure from the company’s traditional boxer twins. At its heart lay a longitudinally mounted, liquid-cooled inline-four, laid flat in the frame and quickly nicknamed the “Flying Brick” by riders around the world. Combined with BMW’s Compact Drive System and maintenance-free shaft drive, the K100 offered smooth, effortless power delivery and remarkable reliability, qualities that made it a favourite among serious touring riders. The RT version added a full touring fairing, generous weather protection and relaxed ergonomics, transforming the platform into one of the most capable long-distance motorcycles of its era. Today, the K 100 RT enjoys a growing following among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its distinctive engineering, its build quality and its unmistakable place in BMW’s motorcycle history, making a well-preserved example like this one an increasingly sought-after machine.
