When the K-series was introduced in that last, forgettable decade, it was met with a luke-warm reception. The new inline, water-cooled engines were to replace the quaint old flat twin motor that had become obsolete after the Japanese war of the superbikes, and transport BMW into the future. Criticisms flew. I remember adjectives like: bland, heavy, slow and ...bland. Most reviewers preferred the three cylinder 750 because it would at least pretend to corner. Though these assessments were unfair, it was indeed possible that BMW had made a mistake. Porsche made the same one when they tried to phase-out the air-cooled flat six 911 series for more current front-engine, water-cooled designs. In retrospect, it seems that not many enthusiasts wanted BMW to build a better superbike. They wanted BMW to remain the eclectic, eccentric alternative; they wanted to look cool. After a few years of poor sales BMW took notice. It was back to the drawing board to build an entire new line around a redesigned update of their old twin boxer motor. BMW kept the new line fresh with innovative suspensions and alternative styling. It worked. BMW has won back the hearts of its two-wheeled boxer-headed faithful. But deep in the Black Forest at the factory they never gave up on the K-bikes. They quietly refined them to this present incarnation, the automaton of autobahn, a true German superbike.
