The 1980s CX500 was nicknamed the Plastic Maggot but makes a great cafe racer. 
A few blocks from my vacation apartment I found quite a serious piece of work. If I have identified it correctly as a BMW K100, it was built between 1982 and 1992, with 987 cc’s. It was a new engine design with the advantage that the power shaft comes out the back in line with the driveshaft – a very efficient design. Double overhead cams and electronic fuel injection make good, smooth power.
Last month I stopped in at Austin Moto Classics so see what I could see, and there were lots of great motorcycles outside and inside, some pulled apart, others too close to others for a good pic, but found eight motorcycles that I wanted to post. Here is the last one. Thanks to Austin Moto Classics, linked at right.
