	Yeah, I think the K1 was BMW's inline-4 sports/touring bike.  
Displacement was something along 1100cc too I think...  It's usually 
classfied as either touring bike or open class sports bike and from what 
I gather, it serves as both marvelously.

	There is R1100RS (I think) by BMW.  It has horizontally opposed 
twin and went thrugh quite a bit of suspension and chasis upgrade in 
'93.  But it's stll every bit "Boxer".  It's also an open class touring 
sportsbike.
