BMW: MonoShock

  • I'd like to find out what year made a single sided monoshock rear, hopefully find an R90 version to save on insurance.
  • Wikipedia article on when the monolever came out:
    • In early 1983, BMW introduced a 987 cc, in-line four-cylinder, water-cooled fuel injected engine to the European market, the K100. The K series comes with a simplified and distinctive rear suspension, a single-sided swingarm. (In 1985 the traditionally powered boxer R80RT touring bike received this monolever rear suspension system and in 1987 the R100RT received it).
