They were an evolution of the 'flying brick' K100, and never really caught on in the UK as they were expensive and relatively slow...Never a big seller anywhere, truth be told.

I thought it was a great looking bike. If ever there was a bike to epitomise 80's style then the K1 was probably it.

It was heavy for a sports bike which blunted its performance, so wouldn't be too much for most riders.

Rode one - not my cup of tea but interesting.

Just to clarify GIGFY's post - I was an instructor, then an examiner, but not anymore. I worked in the UK motorcycle industry between 1996 and 2022. I made a complete career change last year.

What do you do now? If you don't mind me asking. Feel free to tell me to go forth

Well looks like without even advertising it my panigale is sold subject to him coming good

Next I’ll move my monster on which I’ve owned since 2011

That Panigale is an achingly pretty bike, I just know how much it would hurt me to ride it

They are lovely and actually really easy to ride compared to the older stuff with a trellis frame.

I’ve had two panigales now and they are great for the road. Actually could ride one all day which is a rarity for a sports bike.

Oh well , the buyer is sorting the funds as we speak so it’s a sad day but with a new baby I’ve taken the decision to take a break from motorbikes and have another fast car as it’s safer

Bit off topic but i hope interesting ? My late Father in Law during his national service,think it's a 16H.

Built this with my m8, sadly I'm not finishing it because I can't ride motorcycles anymore.
I should really sell it to someone who wants to finish it. 1985 CB750 Nighthawk.
And yeah, not much is stock anymore.


Before and after..
