The S in question has an Airhead RS fairing installed.
I have experienced a couple of K75's with that fairing, it is a sweet combination. I think someone had a cottage industry making K75RS's.

The S in question has an Airhead RS fairing installed.That's in Essex Center, VT. I saw that K75 in person a couple months ago. It's in good condition and appealing. The price is reasonable considering the outfit selling it. In fact, it's a reasonable price, regardless. If I wanted another bike, I'd buy it then install a 50amp charging system. That bike will haul two-up on an interstate with no problem if both the riders aren't heavyweights. You're unlikely to find one that inexpensive in decent physical condition like that one anytime soon.

I've been watching this bike for a while now.At 1500 bucks, some savvy rider is going to fly and ride away with it pretty soon, so enjoy watching it while you can.

At 1500 bucks, some savvy rider is going to fly and ride away with it pretty soon, so enjoy watching it while you can.That's exactly what happened.He wanted me to pay for the bike in full. No deposit then pay after I saw it. I didn't feel right about doing that so my search continues.

Good luck with your search. There is always another one out there.

Also in my experience riding a 75 solo it is hard to scrub off the "chicken strips" but two up and they disappear.
clearly you weren't trying hard enough in the twisties when solo.....and your tire pressure was too low when two up......
