BMW K 100 RS (four-valve)

In 1989 BMW launched a modernised K 100 RS. Essentially this was a K1 enclosed in the familiar RS fairing instead of the futuristic full fairing. In fact, the second version now named BMW K 100 RS 4V had the entire K1 technology under the fairing. The machine¿s two-person bench seat and the opportunity to mount panniers meant that this motorcycle appealed to all those customers who wanted to have the advanced engineering of the K1 but were not content with the motorcycle's visual appearance and its restricted touring ability.
