well kept  One year owner only rode 200 miles but changed oil anyway.  48k miles ..needs rear tire...Windshield is very adjustable.  Stable on road....have to lean into curves quite markedly.

Time will tell..

I'm glad I bought a K...I couldn't take all that vibration. Looks like a good bike though.

Is that what they are? I thought they were footrests.

Happy to say, essentially no vibration above ten mph.
Very smooth and low rpms at highway speeds in top gear.

I have a 1987 K75s and at the end of June I purchased a 2005 R1200RT.  I love my K-bike for everyday getting around and single rider trips but my R1200RT is an amazing touring bike.  My lady and I have traveled more than 12,000km since purchasing it in June. 2-up touring with loaded luggage and we've loved it. 

I trust you will love riding this bike.  enjoy!!!
