Nice Looking K75

I believe it's an S model.
Looks like it has an aftermarket rear shock, engine guards and a corbin seat.
Also looks like it could use a little paint. Is that a stock color?

From the fork length and handle bars, looks more like a C than an S, or an RT that may have been converted.

Doesn't look a stock colour for an S... http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/schemepages/schemek75s.htm

Could very well be, I don't know the 75's very well.
Stock or not, I like the color either way

I have seen green K bike pictures three different times over the last year. Three different bikes, same green color. If I remember correctly, one picture had a caption that claimed it was a special edition and the bike sported wire spoke wheels. Could it be a stock color for Europe?

A green K75 with spoked wheels did not come from the factory that way.
Once I had a Collie pup. Dug a hole and covered him up. Now I sit there by the hour. Waiting for a Collie-flower.

I have never heard of it before or since. If it is not factory, where would you get wheels?

On second look, it has a rear disk, so it's not a C.

You never know from just one pic.  What you see is what it is now, not how it came from the factory.  And it's pretty easy to swap in a rear disk on a C,

Just adapt some spoked R wheels.  Or maybe more....
