These last three weeks, despite patchy weather, I have mostly ridden my brand new Honda CB1100 four banger. Today I got out the K75 and took a nice ride of an hour or so and it cemented into my mind the excellence of this remarkable bike. There is no bike like the K75. I especially enjoyed the Parabellum tall windshield shielding me from the wind..
Nice, nice bike.

i can relate. after 6 hrs of driving my f250 diesel truck this morning back from CT, then doing a bunch of chores around the house, i took the k75 out for 40 miles of twilight riding on twisting roads near the Potomac river. 60 deg weather. bike just humming along. all stress left behind on the road. ahhhhhhh!

No better feeling than the "relax" provided by a nice ride....Good for you.

I agree - its a lovely bike. Recently like a lot of men of a certain age I dallied with a younger, Japanese model and thought I'd sell the K75. But on taking the K to the MOT centre for, what I thought, was the final time I realised that its far superior to the rice burner which although exciting and very fast is not the one for me. So, bye bye young model - hello old faithful. Let that be a lesson to us all.
Keep 'er lit,

I've now had my 3/4 Brick for 17 years, I've previously had Austrian, Czech , British, Italian, Japanese motorcycles. I always lusted after a mates R90s which he swapped for a Harley ( I could of killed him ) which got stolen after a month, never recovered. This is the first German bike and my last German bike, I will never ever sell it. It's never let me down 150,000 so smooth Km's , It's got so many good points it would be nearly impossible to list. I've had mates who swap bikes like socks ask me why don't I get a newer bike, I just say why bother when the K does everything I want & more with utter reliability and no chain. I wanted to get buried with it but my wife refuses.
I love my Brick Martin.

I could not have expressed my opinion better :clap:

There are a handful of other motorcycles that can accumulate the miles like a K75, but none of them look as good doing it as the brick to me.

I like having a rear drum brake too...no caliper to seize, no master cylinder to rebuild, no brake line to replace no bleeding. I can lock it up so it isn't like it's not doing anything back there
