I owned a 1994 K1100LT for about 5 years, purchased it for $10,500 put 
45,000 kilometres on it and sold it for $10,000. It made a lot of sence to 
me.

I still own a 1994 K100RT (ex cop) attached to a sidecar, 120,000 kilometres 
and still pulling well. I have also owned a 1993 K1100RS and a 1986 K100RS.

The K bikes can get hot in the summer but make a really great cool weather 
tourer, they are relatively cheap to own but these days the K100's are 
getting a bit old and I would certainly go for a K1100LT. However the early 
R1100/R1150 RT's are good alternatives.
