Welcome to tuning hell. :-) Interestingly the last person I spoke to who had ever owned one of these had it in the early 90's, was an old man with a beard, and he said that the tuning was a breeze! But he also had nine children and a 6 axle nissan safari to transport them in so I dunno.

It has been sitting since 2002, but the fuel still smells king of like fuel and the tank is rust free. It has kickin' compression though! Tuning hell? Nah! I would take this over a rack on a KZ or CB of the same era. I'll make some videos of going through the thing so you can vicariously live through me to a time from before I was born!

Well, if you keep the stock airbox.. sure. But if you want to get the full 120hp from the motor, you need to do some funny things to make the carbs work right. The carbs are squeezed in between the fairings and the engine sides, so if you completely remove the spider like airbox (it has four legs...) you end up with strange airflow to the carbs, and the subsequent odd tuning problems.

At least the carbs are on the side of the motor. I can't wait to hear that thing run. I'll give you one suggestion. Avon Roadriders.

Eh, the pipe wrap and squidgy filters are dumb, and it could stand some cleaner wiring, but I'd ride that. That plate position wouldn't really fly though

Everyone's probably seen all the rnickeymouse videos already, but here's one I hadn't before. Watch plenty of motorcyclists on Mulholland be almost killed by LA idiot hell fuckers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoBg9vmKbz0 I'll tell you, despite the appeal of riding such a famous stretch of road, that looks like just instant death waiting to happen.

A guy I worked with when I was out in LA did this all the way up the road to Mt. Wilson Observatory. Crossing every double yellow and going into the oncoming lane around blind corners. I was sure this would get us killed, and it gave the other passengers in the car motion sickness. I believe he told a girl that was with us, "You have to drive this road like a race track." Needless to say, Los Angeles is full of some real assholes.

Oh hello there. That looks pretty sexy. Is it based off an RS? Would definitely ride one of those. I wonder if the rad shroud is custom...

Looks like a standard K roadster with upgraded forks and standard rad shroud to me. http://motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/bmw/BMW_K75%2087.htm With the shroud where it is and the wide motor, I always manage to confuse those for R roadsters when they're coming the opposite direction.
