I've only ever seen photos of the K1 - never seen one on the road even in just passing.
What's it ride like?

Disclaimer, if you don't have short legs (like me) you will not like this bike as a fast tourer.
For me this is perfect, this thing is fast in a Grand Tourer kind of way (think of it as a Porsche 928 on two wheels). Incredibly smooth ride and once you get use to the length, it a stunning in mountain passes. The suspension makes it ideal for the roads around here that can be very bumpy and make it unpleasant being on any of the modern sport bikes.
Busy restoring this one now to its original colours.

Hello from Cape Coral, SouthFlorida.That is a very cool bike. The K1 is one bike that I would squeeze in to my garage. Good luck on it and welcome to the forum.
