SOLD: 1990 BMW K75S cafe racer $3000

[Andrewck]

  1990 BMW K75S that has been stripped down to a cross between a street fighter / cafe racer. Bike is in perfect working order with no known issues and has adhered to regular maintenance schedule.  Bike has less than 40,000 miles on it


If you are looking for a K75 to restore to its original form, this is not your bike. If you want a truly unique and fun to ride bike that's a head turner and draws compliments everywhere you take it, look no further.


List of modifications:

• removal of windscreen, saddle bag mounts, front and side fairings, rear seat
• Frame has been cut to accommodate new rear cowl and seat
• Custom sheet metal rear cowl and leather seat
• Upgrade to stainless front brake lines
• New cafe style headlight
• Modified front fairing
• Modified rear mid guard
• LED rear brake light strip under cowl
• LED front turn signals
• Clip on handlebars
• Modified metal and rubber handgrips mounted on clip on handlebars
• Removal of instrument cluster (wiring harness is still intact)
• Front of bike has been lowered 2"
• Ignition switch relocated to side of bike
• Metal mesh side fairings installed
• Bike painted matte blue (Plastidip and easily removable)
• Wheels, exhaust system painted matte black
• Metal tabs remove from multiple points on bike and sanded down to streamline frame

Known Issues:

• Prior owner dropped bike on left side and scraped up the end of the clutch lever and valve cover
• Tank has small dent

I am only selling as I am moving and need to downsize my fleet of vehicles due to space constraints. Bike comes with original BMW tool kit and owners manual. I will also include Clymers manual, full service records from myself and prior owner and hand bleeder for bleeding brakes.


 
Asking $3,000. Cash only, local pickup. Not interested in trades as I don't have the space for a bike. Please reach out with any questions.

Do you have a link to where you ordered that seat? Looks really good.

[Andrewck]

Seat is 100% custom.  I laid fiberglass and built the shape, then took it to a metal fabricator who welded final and hand-stitched the seat.

Wow, somebody got a great deal I think :)


I started riding superbikes in 1977. GS750, windjammer. Always liked the boxers and even more as I aged. But honestly I never craved a K100 RS when they were new or the 75s (never even knew the difference till they were old). I was curious about K motors, but most of us thought the bikes were butt ugly. Your bike, Andrew, looks fantastic in my opinion.


Recently, since I inherited one, I'm starting to appreciate the stock looks a bit, :)

I'm going to ride mine as a stocker till I can learn it. Then maybe I will "ruin" it.


What BNB and his like don't really get, the K mod scene is a celebration. It's as if the K's took over the bike world and the "brick" moved every style of bike. The stock RS body work hide most of the K motor. That's the heart of the beast. I'd better there are plenty of BMW engineers tickled at this new parade of 4 on the side, in modern lingerie
