This is a 1988 BMW K100RS “Hossack,” it features a revolutionary front suspension system designed by engineer Norman Hossack. This double wishbone or “pivoting-link system,” using upper and lower wishbones with a monoshock, significantly improved handling and later inspired BMW’s Duolever suspension, first introduced on the K1200S in 2004.

This Hossack-equipped 1988 BMW K100RS, with just 22,209 kilometers (~13,800 miles), is being auctioned by Bonhams on December 5th. It includes original documents, TüV approval, and features its bold 1980s paintwork

I rather like that.

Hmm...what colour leathers would match it....??

Probably have to wear a dark tinted visor though.

Oh yeah! (had to Google 'em) but wow! Channelling Bananaboy after his yellow phase....

I seem to remember an old mate having a CBR600 in similarly lurid white, teal and pink. Those were the days

I was going to suggest them too.

But, believe it or not, you've chosen the subtle colour option.

Risk compensation!

I dunno Hoss, the first set looks like a mash up of pink leathers and a naughty maid costume for a 'Full Monty' type performer. I think they have the edge. (The second set looks like a set of pyjamas for a bisexual crypto squillionaire who might have a car body mounted on his bedroom wall).

You've put too much thought into this!

John Deere should stick to combines

There's all manner of funky shit going on with that bike. It intrigues me and I'd like to know more. The designer(s) is/are certainly not afraid to experiment.
