BMW Other description

extremely rare 1982 Krauser MKM1000. One of only about 200 Krauser-built bikes produced during its two-year run, and one of only 13 machines imported into the USA by BMW of North America in 1982. Michael Krauser had a very close relationship with the BMW factory, and he sourced his R100RS mechanical components directly from them. The difference is that the Krauser-built bikes don't have a BMW vin, they have a Krauser vin on the engine, frame, trans & rear drive. The other important difference is that he then proceeded to wrap all these parts in a computer designed birdcage frame that was extremely light and rigid.

Next year however, BMW’s Milan-based Italian arm will be responsible for the factory team as well as chassis development and testing. BMW Motorrad itself will focus on developing the power train and electronics.
