Title: Thinking about replacing my 1991 K75s after 15 years
Post by: DavidMTX on August 07, 2015, 12:58:06 AM: The K75s has been a great biked for me. I like that it is a sport bike but I can take a long trip in comfort. I have always like how it looks. My wife rides with me a little. After 15 years I am just ready to try something new. If I had the space I would keep the K75s because it has been a wonderful companion.
I have looked at the F800S and F800ST. I have also looked at the R1100s.
Any recommendations?

It's an '07, 42K miles, It is by far the best of the Jap sport tourers.
