Saying Hello
« on: April 01, 2013, 06:50:47 PM »
Hi,
I've already posted a couple of questions while I was waiting for my '88 K75S to be delivered. I'm new to K Bikes and BMW. In the past I have owned several v-twins and japanese bikes and put on my fair share of miles.

Had the bike delivered directly to the local dealer for service and inspection. At their recommendation the brake pads and oil/water pump were replaced. Picked it up Saturday afternoon and have put something over 150 miles on. Really liking it so far. It seems solid despite 90k plus miles. It likes to run at higher RPMs than what I am accustomed to, at least 4k around town, that's about where it seems to get smooth and responsive.

The previous owner had replaced a number of things before the sale, most notably the clutch & speedo gears. Dealer says it will easily go another 90K with care. Looking forward to a nice summer of riding. See ya'll around.

very nice unmolested S you got there.  My 87 has twice the miles and is still more solid than past bikes I've had with under 20k.  With a little care old K's really do run forever.
