I stumbled across this PDF of a magazine article:

http://classickbikes.com/ckb/5.arts.web/BMW.Factory.Tour.1987.Dutch.pdf

It's in Dutch and I wanted to read it so I ran it through some online OCR and translation software and ended up with this fairly understandable English translation:

Nice bit of history. I liked the picture of the K bike behind an R bike- interesting that they were done on the same assembly line.

Thanks for the translation.

(I read enough MotoGP news that is written in another language then computer translated, so this was understandable)
