Not sure of the market over there but his prices look to be waay over the top. That K1 he has is up for $15000 NZD.
Pretty much the same running gear as a standard 16V K100 but aerodynamics giving them more kphMarky Boy OZ wrote: . . . The K1 - do they go faster? More HP ?
I agree. Just a shame about the luggage capacity (not pannier friendly)Marky Boy OZ wrote:Still Kinda Cool . . . . .
I'm no expert on these matters but to answer Marky's question above re: do they go faster. To quote from Mick Walkers "K-Series Motorcycles"Marky Boy OZ wrote:My old girl, not so much "hanging off bits"....... Im happy about that......

2.81 on both the RS-16v and the 1100RS, what makes the different speed?RicK G wrote:2.81 on the RS and 2.91 on the LT

Rev limiter maybe but more like the sales dept hoping that no one would do the sums.
I know that with 2.62 in my K1100 the needle goes to the fuel pump on the reserve light but the GPS said 237kph not 245 as it would calculate on the speedo.
More thought (a dangerous thing) did the K100 16v have the 1.67 top gear and not 1.61 as the K1100 have.
I remember checking it out for 8vand 16v but don't recall if I did it for the K100 16v.
More investigation through REAL OEM and the K100 16v has a 29 tooth gear on the input shaft and the K1100 has a 30 tooth so the 1.67 and 1.61 is correct.
