1992 BMW K1at Auction
1992 BMW K1 to be auctioned Saturday May 23 at RM Auctions
This K1 was donated for auction by Mint Classics of Münster, the proceeds to go to relief for the earthquake victims in Nepal.
The auction value is estimated at €20,000 to €30,000, about $23,000 – $33,000.
George, you should have kept your K1 (although it wasn’t the original one in red and yellow). I guess if you hold on to anything long enough it will be worth something. Maybe I should have kept the Bonneville for at least another ten years.
