Very few K100LT's were imported into Australia in the early 1990's (mostly K100RT and the majority were cop bikes) and they were discontinued upon the introduction of the K1100 series. Boxer

Why because you want to pay more money for crap ergonomics, crap brakes, no power and miserably bad handling Top suggestion George. JL I wouldn't buy one but the BMW KxxLT makes sense to me, nothing made by Harley does.

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. Boxer
