New to me that is. New bike and new member. Just picked up a 1987 K75S. Super stoked about this! icon_cheers

Holy Mackerel! That's a nice one! I think the K75S is the best looking of the brick line.
Like a fool I sold mine a few years ago and kept a K100RS that is getting a bit too heavy for me. Will need to find one like yours in the next couple years.

Looks like a nice specimen. icon_cheers
Since it is an 87:

Another K-anadian. That looks to be a nice one, there!

Nice to see an un-molested survivor! Keep an eye on that rear brake reservoir, they degrade in the sun and get really brittle. Later models moved it up under the battery cover. 87's didn't have the blacked out engine covers, pegs brackets or wheels, those may have been replaced or painted. Check under the fork bellows for leaks. I like the Corbin seat, huge improvement over the stock IMHO.

Thank you!
Yes it needs fork seals as well as some other ones - it leaks oil here and there. I will be going through it all including all the splines.
As for the colour, the bike is Onyx Black and I see they all have the same colour scheme, including the wheels and warm coloured tank emblem. I found on some European site that it was an edition of some sort.
But yeah, it's an 87 so... not sure.

If it does become unusable (not uncommon) replacing it with a newer style one is possible and easy to do.
