Practically a decade after the introduction of the unique Ok-bikes in 1984, BMW launched the K1100LT and K1100RS — the largest and strongest “Flying Bricks” ever to return out of the Berlin manufacturing facility. The inline-four engines had been punched out to 1093cc, that includes 16-valve heads from the K1, lighter pistons for decreased reciprocating mass / vibration, and a max output of 100 horsepower.

Cycle World referred to as the LT “the primary actual various to Honda’s Gold Wing in years,” whereas the RS sport-tourer impressed reviewers with its cruise missile-like aplomb at excessive velocity and critical lean.

“In total competence from my grownup, civilized perspective, the K1100RS simply smokes all these different horsepower-heavy monster bikes… The four-cylinder Ok-bike feels prefer it’s really in contact with the highest of the road BMW automotive philosophy: quick, extremely competent dealing with machines which can be pragmatic, reserved in fashion and designed for the rich fanatic.” –Motorworld, by way of K11OG.org

Thirty years later, a few of these massive Ok bikes are popping out of retirement, stripped down and leaned out within the arms of workshops like Holland’s Moto Adonis. On this case, the consumer was in search of a machine “infused with the essence of a fighter jet,” that means “smooth strains and daring aesthetics.”

Different highlights embrace a set of Ducati Hypermotard forks, Sidewinder rear monoshock conversion, customized stainless undertail exhaust with hand-crafted silencers, and a full suite of Motogadget electronics.

The Twenty first-century upgrades, angular strains, and brutalist engine remind us of “Fifth-gen” multirole jet fighters just like the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, which mix superior stealth, supercruise efficiency, and extremely superior C³ (command, management, and communications) capabilities.
