OPINION

WORDS : Oscar from Hamilton PHOTOS : supplied
This is the third in a series lamenting the five worst bikes I have owned or ridden for long enough to form a disparaging opinion on . You may wish to note that I have a couple of opinions and have never been shy about sharing them . I bought my first bike in 1977 , which was the first in a financially ruinous and incurable motorcycle acquisition addiction ( I think I ’ m up to number 55 at this point ). Over the years I have been lucky enough , through my association with Kiwi Rider , and various race teams to ride dozens more . I am definitely not the best rider you ’ ve ever met , but also probably not the worst .
# 3 BMW K1 I think I was in love with the idea of a K1 – at the time it looked like the epitome of a generational change , or a future bike . It was one of those bikes that you remember where you were when
