New K75 owner in Atlanta

[atldinan3]

Hello all!  I just purchased a 1994 K75, midnight blue (actual color name), system cases (left broken), National Cycle tall windscreen, gaiters, custom hwy pegs,  64k.  I am very excited and can't wait to get to know her better.

Been riding ~12 yrs, gone through lots-o-bikes:  Ninja EX500, Katana 600, CBR600F4, Magna 750, Bandit 1200, Magna 750, FZ1.  (I think, in order?).  Got my first bimmer in 2008; a 2008 R1200R, system cases, ABS, Remus cf Hexacone w/ matching headers.  LOVED IT.  My primary complaint, however, was that it's all.  Almost all Beemer's (bimmer or beemer?) are tall for my 29in inseam.  I kept the bike 4yrs (12k) and just sold it a few weeks ago for financial reasons.  I impulse bought a F650CS, based primarily on the fact that it was short and light.  I HATED IT, and took it back to the dealer within 1 month to resell on consignment.  At the same time, I came across the K75 on craigslist.

So thats my story.  I am waiting on news regarding my living situation for the next few years.  I will either continue to be a city rider, or will become a commuter (60 miles each way).  Either way, I'm looking forward to playing with my new toy!

Cheers,

Todd

I LOVE my 2005 F 650 GS. Interesting you had the opposite reaction to the bike.

Only negatives would be lack of top end on a busy interstate compared to the 75 and the F is a bit more squirrelly in cross winds.

What part of ATL are you from? I ride my brick from Sandy Springs up through the mountains every weekend. If you see a blue K100RS with Atlanta Falcons logo on the windshield in your rear view mirror, be sure to return the motobrick.com  gang sign as I pass you. :-)

Also- the bikes are beemers , the cage is a bimmer.

Love the stealth black. Are those Swisher highway pegs?

[atldinan3]

Thanks all for the replies.

Stealth black?

I don't know anything about the highway pegs, they were installed when I got the bike.  I'm mixed about them.

I live in the highlands during the week and at my girlfriends in Athens during the weekends.  I grew up in Sandy Springs but don't make it through there very often these days.  Kewl to see another local here though!

Yea, I found the high mount of the highway pegs kinda nasty. Put some lower ones on and they are rockin'.
