Which K-bike
This might seem an odd one for HUBB, but given the collective knowledge here I'm guessing someone might have some ideas. I'm looking to get a little more speed and carrying ability on the outfit and have seen a number of K-100 and K1100 based outfits, especially pictures of what the Australians get up to that makes me think this is a good option. I might start another thread over on "what bike" about the other options I've thought of, but for now I wondered if anyone might know:
What's the difference in real life use between the K100 and K1100?
Any serious issues to think about/look for?
Did they all have ABS as built?
What do people do in terms of standard mods, shocks, tyres etc?
What's the standard range?
Anyone had any hassle in the cold?
Is parts availability from Motorworks and MotoBinns still there even for a 25 year old bike? Anything you can't get?
Really anything useful you can think of about these bikes in general really (and no, I don't want a KTM/R1200GS/Ducati or anything else, that'll be for the "what bike" thread  ). Weight and possibly Bricklike handling as a solo don't worry me, this beast would be getting a shopping trolly nailed on the side to stop it falling over
Thanks
Andy
