I got my R80 serviced one time and they loaned me a K75S, so off I took it on a little trip and freaked out when I saw I was doing about 100mph but thought I was doing more like 70 bc it’s so smooth and the little fairing cut out so much wind. Soon I traded my R80 for a K100S, which was a bit too heavy but great for cruising.
Thank you for sharing you experience about these amazing bikes. It amazes me that the passion for this bike was so great. I wish I could this review again. I would do my homework and give the bike its rights. I'm still getting comments about people's experience..... Amazing!!!
I just found a 1987 K75 in back with only 25k miles. You are right, there is something special about these bikes that is hard to describe. I just love it!
My winter project is a 1986 K75S. Only 40 000 km on it. Got for for 5000 SEK ($450) here in Sweden, because of a leaking tank and stuck gastank cap. Except for that everything is working. The more I look at it, the more I see why there has become a hype around these ”Bricks” 👍🏼.
I was in love with the bike when it came out of the garage. What a bike. It looks like it's own thing. small problems with easy fix I think right? Wish you lots of fun with the bike.
I am not a racer and i don`t like sport bikes, so my choice was for k75 7 years ago. And i still rode it! Love this bike, love everything that i given from this bike!

It’s a very linear ride compared a bike with carbs, don’t you think. The power is more like an electric bike. I have a k75c and love riding it. It’s just different. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧
They are a great bike and are well engineered they go well for a lump , hence the nickname of the , ( flying brick ) I've owned one of these bikes for 16 years , they sound great the torque is amazing, sounds like your enjoying yourself , they do 0 to 60 in 4 seconds.
It was amazing to ride it. I did not know about the nickname 😀. 16 years.... that is a loooong time? The power was indeed nothing to complain about. I hope you enjoyed the video!
Sorry for my late reaction. Just saw it now. I honestly have no idea. The bike was not mine nor did I ask information about the bike. I will ask it, and will come back you asap. Do you ride them often? Are they also Café racers?
@@Motogreets I have owned one since 1990 purchased new. Not ridden nearly enough, life, family overseas employment. Restored and upgraded a few years back. The other is 1994. It was in bad shape when purchased 7 years ago. Almost done with getting it serviced. Bought for buddy as retirement gift as he wanted to learn to ride. He changed his mind so bike sat in my lift for 6 years apart to clutch. I worked this year on putting back together. Just waiting on oil/water pump rebuild as has slight coolant leak. Both are K75RT models. Here in western USA we have huge distances to cover. So great bike to cover thousands of miles. A few design and product issues to address with the original Kbikes. But they are dead reliable and known for being million mile motorcycles. I am not interested in current production BMW motorcycles.
@goldgeologist5320 I can understand why you don't like the new bikes. Reliability is a big issue these days and all the electronics in a bike makes it impossible to work on.

I love my blue k75s. Such an incredible ride, there's something really special about these bikes and the feeling they evoke.

I'm only hearing good stuff about this bike. And after some little research I found out that this bike will go down in the books as a legendary bike.
@@Motogreets yep. I red some info about it and a man from Australia ride about 1 million km on it. It’s incredible. I believe that’s true story.
My k1100lt is at 198,000 klm@@mruniverse5704
Покупаю на днях K75, спасибо за обзор теперь не осталось никаких сомнений, что этот мотоцикл прекрасен 🔥

@Soggz7785 it's like sailing on calm water. Butter smooth. Baby but smooth hahaha. Idk what to compare it more with. XD

It doesn't matter how old a motorcycle is as long as it's well maintenanced.
Ur damn right maat. Fijn weekend 🥰
I have a red one! Going to start my build this year👍🏽👀
🫢 Where can I follow the process?
The Original Kbikes are million mile motorcycles.
I would believe you haha. This was a amazing ride for me.
I have 2 kbikes. How was the instrument cluster changed?

What mirrors are those? My K75 still has the stock Mickey mouse ear ones.
I have to be honest. I do not know :3 I will ask the owner tho. Mickey Mouse ears are not nice on a bike haha
I'm sorry ma dude. The owner doesn't know 😞
@@Motogreets darn... Thanks for asking. Ill continue the plan on making some custom ones 😅
@C0LTM1911 maybe that is the best Way. The mirrors were really small tbh. Just enough.
160/200????????
@billpumarejo699 hold up brother. Just KPH. About 130mph right?
