The BMW K75S on the road

Went for a wee pootle on the bike and took the cam. Shoulda used zoom eh.

No deaths, damage or law breaking. Those that have ridden a K bike will understand the sound thing :-)

I have a 1992 K75RT. Gotta love the subtile k sound. K must stand for King of the road.

Nice mellow sound. Classic design. The bike looked very stable on the road.

Go for it. just run in at that mileage as long as its been maintained (ask about the Splines and when lubed... if they cant answer steer clear)

The K in this video had done 135,000km when it was crashed into and I sold it but had heaps of life left. Great Bike!

I bought mine as a first bike after lots of years. It is heavy, but otherwise it's pretty easy to control - lots of engine breaking and torque so it's easy to ride. Mine has been completely reliable apart from a dead fuel pump and an indicator relay, both fairly cheap items. I use motorworks in the UK, who have at least 3 k75s breaking at the moment so have lots of bits. Get a red one with black engine, they look the best.

I'm looking at a 1990 model with a lot of k's: 160,000. It's in my price range but can I expect trouble? Also it's my first bike after 20 years so I had intended getting a 250 to get my confidence up. Is this too much bike for a virtual learner?

I have a 1990 k75s - I hope it sounds as good as this to pedestrians - who knows what it really sounds like?

Wooooow, nice video, I ride a 75 S too but I never heard its "voice" as watcher... It sounds like a WWII Messerschmitt 109, really super!!!

Gruss.
