Hello my name is Stephen. Recently moved to Toronto. I became a BMW rider by fluke. My friends ride Harley's and one asked if I still had my motorcycle license. He said there is an old BMW covered up in the garden. Take it and see if you like it.
I pulled off the bike cover to fine a 1989 BMW K100 RS Special Edition. Such a nice bike. White and Blue with a black engine. Belly fairing and matching luggage. Checking the odometer it only had 6092 km. Charged the battery and hit the starter button. What a beautiful note it made as the engine roared to life. I completed the major service. Replaced two cracked fuel lines. Only problem came after 1500 km. Small oil leak from the oil pump. Removed it, updated the impeller. 3500 km now and the bike just gets better, or maybe I'm getting better at holding on. Time to fit new tyres.

Greetings Stephen welcome to the forun.
Sure sounds like a great find and a keeper for a bike. They are one of the K series classics.
You will fall in love with it in no time at all, if you haven't already and start trying to convert the harley riders. I don't think it would be impossible but far beyond a job for mere mortals.

welcome aboard

that is a great bike by the sound of it .....wonder why soo little kilometers- miles ...amazing after all this time for sure

enjoy !

Welcome Stephen,

are you serious? Did he actually give it to you or did you pay a nominal fee?
I guess that is the bike in your avatar.
I think you just made a whole bunch of people very very jealous.

Yep would love to be that lucky...done well there mate...need more pictures for drooling...

another welcome from Down under Stephen, good to hear you are happy with the new ride.
In time you will become the envy of your mates, as they realise the capabilities of the mighty K.
enjoy your time here, It's a great friendly site, with more experience than can be found in any manual.

Oh My God! Some people can always just step right into a bucket of #$@*&^! and come out smelling like a rose!
Who could believe it? A real "Barn Find for cheap or nothing that only needs a jump start to be ride able!!!
A lucky man indeed! Suggest you go out and buy some Lotto tickets right away.

Welcome Stephen,

I recently joined too, it has been a great resource.

I'd recommend you buy lottery tix if you do not already. You're a very lucky guy!

Nice find! Welcome to the zoo!

I'm surprised it even needed a jump start. Welcome to the circus.

All I ever got from my mates was a cold! That's a super machine, I wish you luck with it and many happy miles, welcome to the forum.
