The '''[[BMW]] K 1''' was a in-line four, [[four-stroke]] Sport Bike [[motorcycle]] produced by [[BMW]] between 1988 and 1993. It could reach a top speed of 146 mph (235 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 73.76 ft/lbs (100.0 Nm) @ 6750 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 97.89 HP (73.0 KW) @ 8000 RPM. 
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[liquid cooled]] in-line four, four-stroke. A 66.0mm [[bore]] x 66.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 987.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a double overhead cams/twin [[cam]] (dohc). 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the dry, single plate. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 120/70x17 front [[tire]] and a 160/60x18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a single disc in the rear. The front suspension was a  telescopic fork with hydraulic shock absorber while the rear was equipped with a Paralever. The K 1 was fitted with a 5.81 Gallon (22.00 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 526.9 pounds (239.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 61.61 inches (1565 mm) long. 


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.
