I've been into bmw k bikes since around 1990. Have had 5 since then. Currently ride a black 2013s. The k is the perfect bike for road touring and turns well enough to run on the track. At 175...

I like this one that doesn't stick up so far. If it is expandable it may be just right.

Sounds good. Remember if you sell the bike put the bulb back in and disclose the non functional abs in the buy/sell. The attorneys here may say that alone won't eliminate one's liability. Dunno.
