Title: Wanted: BMW K75 in Canada
Post by: RC2 on May 08, 2020, 12:50:04 AM

Looking to buy a BMW K75S or K75, from 1988 to newer. The bike must be running and well maintained. Good condition with reasonable mileage for the year. No preference of the colour as long as it is in good shape and never been dropped. If you got a K75S/K75 for sale, please send me an email with pictures and details.  Preferably in Ontario, Canada.  Thanks!

What is your price range?

Even if I wanted to sell you my Ottawa-based '87 K75C, it would fail to meet your rigorous specs in terms of age, perhaps kilometrage (170,000), but mostly because 'never been dropped' is asking a lot for a 30-year old bike. I've dropped it a number of times in the 6 years I have owned it -- never while moving, mind you -- and it has a few unimportant scars I had nothing to do with. Good luck with your search. Keep an eye on Kijiji.

+1 on John's reply.  These beasts are somewhat clumsy when being pushed around.  I suspect you will be looking for a long time before you find one that hasn't been dropped.   

You might have better luck accepting that mirrors, luggage and fairings will show a little wear and tear for the years and miles(km).

Sage advice from two wise Motobrickers.

If I didn't already have a K75S, I'd be all over that one.

The graphite color looks very nice on the K bikes.

Thanks for the reply guys.  Fairly new on the K-series bikes, coming from an R65.  :)
Still looking!

Here's one in Alberta.


"Never been dropped" is asking a lot. My bike has found a sudden need to take a nap and been on one side or the other at least half a dozen times in the past 25 years. With engine protection bars and especially with hard tragkorbs on, no visible damage.

Never been dropped at speed - OK. These are wonderful bikes once moving.

But anyone who has not dropped their K in a parking lot or being off balance at low speed is a better rider than I am!  Or in the garage. Usually onto right side.
