The introduction of this new model. with its totally innovative appearance, caused a sensation, particularly since it came from [[BMW]], normally so careful to respect its own design traditions, The astounding K1 under development since 1983 and unveiled in 1988 -was the result of BMW's constant research program. | |||

The classical styling of their models often incorporated carefully studied [[aerodynamics]]'s, but in the extreme case of the K1, [[BMW]]; chose to ignore both current fashion and the conservative taste of their traditional clients, BMW would be guided by the functional standards dictated by wind-tunnel studies. The K1 was the final descendant in a long line that went back to Ernest Henne's streamlined record-breakers of the Thirties (174 mph in 1937) through the [[BMW R100RS|R100RS]] of 1976. | The classical styling of their models often incorporated carefully studied [[aerodynamics]]'s, but in the extreme case of the K1, [[BMW]]; chose to ignore both current fashion and the conservative taste of their traditional clients, BMW would be guided by the functional standards dictated by wind-tunnel studies.
