1984 BMW K100 Flat-Tracker

Highlights

  • Custom built and has not been ridden since
  • MOT valid until November 2023
  • Fashionable pared-back flat-tracker styling

The Appeal

For almost as long as motorcycles have been around, people have been customising them. To many bikers, riding something unique is really important and this flat-tracker inspired BMW K100 was recently completed by a friend of the vendor. Much of the so-called “Flying Brick” upon which it is based, has now gone, leaving a bare bones K100 that really looks the part.
With fascinating mechanicals and tasteful custom styling, we’re sure this flat-tracker will have a wide appeal, so if you fancy adding a bespoke bike to your collection, this would be a great candidate. 


The History and Paperwork

  • 9 previous owners
  • 0 miles on the odometer as the bike received new instruments as part of the rebuild
  • MOT valid until November 2023
  • Customisation work completed by a friend of the vendor
  • V5C present
  • The vendor informs us that there is some paperwork detailing servicing over the years




The Condition

  • Attractive satin black paintwork
  • LED rear light incorporated into the frame and modern LED headlamp up front
  • ‘Naked’ bike - no fairings or screen
  • Cut down front mudguard and no mudguard at the rear completes the flat-tracker look
  • The vendor informs us that there is no accident damage and the frame remains very straight
  • Slight surface corrosion around a few welds and some minor wear to the switchgear
  • Gold powder coated wheels perfectly contrast the black frame and tank
  • The vendor informs us that the tyres are new and in very good order
  • Discrete rear numberplate ‘hugger’



The Mechanics 

  • Recent new battery
  • 987cc DOHC 4-cylinder (mounted on its side)
  • Standard, unmodified mechanicals
  • Custom exhaust system
  • Starts and runs really well


Summary

The flat-tracker look is really popular right now and this motorcycle truly looks the part. 
Custom bikes are always great conversation pieces and this BMW, with its quirky mechanicals from standard, make it a particularly fascinating machine.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
