BMW 1150 R 2002 55k or 1994 BMW K75 14k. I am and have been a Harley guy for years. Sporting a 97 R King that I ride daily...But I have an itch for brick. I'm conserned about seat height. I'm built like a fire plug. 5'6" with a 30" inseam. First of all given the above info, whitch one is the better deal. Bikes are the same price. I ride alot. Long distance and short as well. Not looking for the fastest bike as I am a pleasure rider. Thanks for the advice. Ed

The question is sortof like asking, "should I marry the young blond or the older brunette, I used to be married to a redhead?"
Personally, I'd go for the big hooters, but make sure you check out the rear end :biggrin:

I would go with the K 75 over an R bike any day.
However, the seat height will be problematic, your almost forced to go with a low seat model or cut down the shock.
Even the R has a relatively high seat height compared to your HD.

I too have a Harley, 08 FLHT, but also a K100RS se. I love them both, each has a different ride. Go for the K bike, it is totally different from your Harley. I ride one on one day, the other the next.
Seat height will be an issue, K bikes, BMW in general are way higher than Harleys. But you will love the Birck for different reasons.

K75, but I am totally biased. Smoother ride.
A tad taller than you're used to but it isn't a worry. Easy to ride and with groups like this one ever able to offer support, what more could you need.
Like having another family really, only this family doesn't nag you when you buy yet another machine.

Yes, K75. Biased here too. In addition to being smoother, mine seems to have more mid-range acceleration/torque than my K100 (I doubt it, but it does _seem_ that way). You might consider getting one with the factory low seat, but you also might be okay with the standard seat. Try them both if you can.
+2 about the nagging. Motorcycles don't care if you ride other motorcycles and they don't complain when you ride them hard! :2thumbup:

I'm pissed at my K75.
After 26 years and it still doesn't give me a good reason to buy something newer.

Not even a year old and this place is going to hell in a handbasket. Where'd all these HD dudes come from?
(Just kidding. :biggrin:)

Get the Brick. One smooth machine. Besides, you don't see that many on the road (at least in my neck of the woods). You do want something
that will turn peoples heads don't you?
