If L is the complexification of a real vector bundle of the tautological bundle and μ=[L]−1, then
K0(RP2n+1)≅Z[μ]/(μ2+2μ,2nμ),K−1(RP2n+1)≅Z.

Realizing Real projective space as the circle bundle of the square of the tautological bundle on Complex projective space gives this through the K-theory Gysin sequence of a sphere bundle.
