BMWK100 1985 - 1986

　　In 1985, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW K100, a sports touring machine in its third consecutive production year. It was suitable for those riders searching for a machine that perfectly blended performance and agility in a single package.

　　The 1985 motorcycle came with the same package as previous models, offering the same visual, technical, and performance specifications without any significant changes whatsoever.

　　The bike was offered in several versions, such as the basic K100 model without a fairing, the K100 C with a small cockpit fairing mounted on the handlebar, the K100 RS with a lower fairing and a sports fixed fairing, the K100 RT with a full touring fairing, K100 LT with a taller windscreen and luxury touring equipment, and K100 TIC developed for Police, Ambulance, Fire, and Military departments.

　　Performance-wise, the 1985 BMW K100 had its heartbeat set by a 987cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 90 hp with a peak force at 8,000 rpm and 84 Nm (62 lb-ft) torque at 8,250 rpm.

　　The braking performance was handled by two 285 mm brake discs mounted on the front wheel and a single 285 mm brake rotor mounted on the rear wheel. The ones from the front were assisted by dual-piston calipers, while the rear one was tied to a single-piston caliper.
