Hey all,
I am new to the forum, and new to BMWs. I have owned about 10 newer model sport bikes, and I am pretty handy with them. However, I am going to look at a 1987 k100LT today, and I was wondering if there was anything in particular that I should look for?
From everything that I've read these are very reliable bikes, but the one I am looking at has about 150k on it. I am not sure if there are any common issues, aside from the usual stuff, like tires, oil, gear transitions, etc. that I should look for.
Also, the bike is priced at 1000, and I'm told it runs and drives great. Is this a fair price for the bike, or should I be looking for something cheaper?
Many thanks in advance!!
Best,
Nate
