New toy in the fleet

[slparry]

Recently treated myself to a low mileage, Ohlin's equipped K1

Considering it's 30 years old it goes surprisingly well

Awesome thing, congratulations! That colour looks a lot better than the red I reckon.

I remember reading the story in Bike magazine when they took one of these to Berlin around the time the wall was coming down.

I remember everyone saying how horrible they were in a side-wind and me scoffing at all the soft ponces.

Then I took one out in a side-wind and kacked my pants.



Just in case no one has told you yet, they're horrible in a side wind...

Suprising that, what with them basically just being a huge slab of plastic...

ETA, both my old CBR1000Fs were similarly horrible (FH & FM)

Also. Nice-looking bike, OP. I always fancied a go on one.

I soooo nearly bought the red and yellow version couple of years bag. It was immaculate, all the plastics and panniers intact etc. Blue looks ace, enjoy

I really, really like that.

Wow, that looks sweet.
Very futuristic looking!
And in a very nice blue color, with golden wheels!

Ps, looks great in that colour, congrats again.

That looks absolutely tremendous, like it belongs on the prequel to Akira. Shame there aren't any about!
