Saw a K75s on gumtree, went to see it and fell in love, swapped it for my Yamaha Tenere, and good riddance to that irritating trail bike, it just wanted new parts all the time, perhaps I am being a little unfair as i acquired it when it hadnt run for a couple of years, but was loath to part with the money they wanted for carb bits. So a Yamaha xtz 660 and £200 got me a 1988 k75s with 32,000 miles on it. It had a slight fuel tank leak, badly mounted faring and both tyres were on backwards but i just had to have it. This is my second BMW, I have owned a 1979 R80/7 for 20 years now and I never want to part with it as its I am sure you understand why but its needs some tlc, so now I've got the K its slowly coming apart.
The K75s is a little of a hard ride for the rubbish roads we have here in Aberdeen Scotland, but once I get out of town the road quality improves and this bike is just great as far as I'am concerned, wife likes it too. Would post a pic but cant seem to figure it out.
well maybe I have.
Went on the Cairn o mount run last Sunday, Grampian classic bike clubs annual run, managed 70 miles and then the rear wheel started to come off, had a tyre shop turn the tyre around the day before and I'am guessing they didnt tighten up the wheel bolts enough. Got my daughter to bring out my sockect set , so glad I taught her to drive, and everything seems okay.
So hello from here.
