Title: First k bike
Post by: SDCR john on August 13, 2017, 08:35:19 PM

Longtime R bike rider, just got my first k Bike. Although I've had a preference for airhead twins, the k75 has always intrigued me. being a triple, and it's reputation for being reliable and very smooth.


After searching for about a year for a nice iteration, I found a very low mileage 1990 Titan Blue K75S.
Changed the filters and fluids, and have put a few hundred miles in just a couple of weeks.

Great bike; enjoy.  Should serve you well.   I regret selling my K75S but have other K's...

Welcome to the asylum. I could be biased but I think the 75s is the pick of the litter.
Regards Martin.

Welcome, SDCR john!

The exhaust outlet plate is clean enough to eat from; of course that would mean up-ending the bike and blocking the port to keep food from falling into it. Still, it's admirably shiny.  :2thumbup:

Thanks for the comments everyone. The meticulous collector that I bought it from, used it sparingly. It had originally been sold new in late 1992 in Massachusetts, [size=78%]but it is a 1990 model year.. came from the factory without ABS, which I've heard is a plus.[/size]

Great find.  The less electronic gizmos on a bike the better, IMHO.  A rider may not be able to stutter brake, but she can modulate brakes, balance braking all between senses.
