BMW’s K100RS is a tried-and-true sport-tourer, though even when it was new no one was overwhelmed by the power. A previous owner of this example has rectified that with one of the 200 turbo kits that were produced by RB Racing on behalf of Luftmeister!
RB claims that at one point (with a much more aggressive kit) they were able to get 309 horsepower from the K100 motor which was good for 206 miles per hour at an SCTA El Mirage meet. It’s unclear exactly how much power this example is putting down but RB claims that they’ve seen 180 hp from their early K100 kits on street gas. RB Racing has a very interesting story – we highly recommend checking out their website for some laughs. In fact – at first glance, it sure seems like the bike for sale here is the exact one featured in the above link!
The seller of this example (VIN: WB1051308F0041999) has owned it for five years, and the odometer shows 26,600 miles. The turbo kit means it’s ready to go fast, but it’s also ready to go far thanks to two saddlebags, a trunk, and BMW inner bags. It was serviced in the last 500 miles and the seller says that it’s ready to to cross the country. Other upgrades include a Corbin seat, larger front brakes, stainless steel brake lines, and some spare parts.
