BMW
NO MATTER HOW THEY HAVE been styled, BMW motorcycles have maintained a remarkably consistent touring emphasis down through the years. Apparently, BMW knows better than to change a good thing. So it's not surprising that BMW's 1987 lineup further expands on the company's strong predilection for touring motorcycles.
On the sporting end of the lineup comes the new K75S, the most sportbiased motorcycle currently sold by BMW. And at the far regions of the touring end is the K100LT, an upscale edition of the K100RT that comes standard with most of the options you expect to find on an American-style touring bike.
The rest of the nine-model BMW product line consists of relatively un-
changed machinery. The six-bike Kseries is divided up into three KlOOs and three K75 models. The boxer Twins, which accounted for around 43 percent of BMW’s motorcycle sales in 1986, come in two displacement sizes—the R65, and the R80, which is also available once again in two versions, the standard and the RT. Technically, the dual-purpose R80G/S will no longer be sold in America, although a very limited number of special competition-style Paris-to-Dakar versions will be made available for those willing to cough up around $ 14,000.
