New guy with a K75

[kdahl]

Hi, all. Long time airhead rider here who recently got seduced by a sexy red motobrick. It's a 1993 K75S. She is pictured below next to my 1956 R60.

Part of the reason I decided to pick up the K is that I would like to start taking some trips by bike, and as much as I love my airhead, she is 59 years old, a bit lacking in the power needed for high speed touring, and parts can be pretty hard to find if you have a breakdown far from home. The K I bought may be 22 years old, already, but with just 6,000 miles she should have a lot of life left. Just in case, my local Beemer experts (Cadre Cycle in Blue Ash, Ohio) gave her a thorough going over and refresh.

Looking forward to learning more about the flying bricks. Any motobrickers who are traveling through southwest Ohio, give me a shout.

The red K75S is what seduced me into the K-bike fold, even though mine looks rather more old and tired than your gleaming, hardly out of the showroom example. 6000 miles??? How is that possible!!!

Anyway, welcome to the best place to learn about these terrific machines  :2thumbup:

That's an amazing un-molested looking bike there.  Mine has not looked that good since Reagan was in office.  But it has carried me 180,000+ miles and could probably do it again except I've aged worse than the bike!   What part of Ohio, I'm south of Dayton.

Howdy, Chaos. I'm in Loveland.

I bought the bike from a retired doctor in Reno. I think he had a half dozen bikes so he rarely rode this one.

I bid on that bike!  Steve was the tech at Reno BMW, and serviced the bike it's full life.  That bike is new!

Congrats!  Great find and deal.  It will out last you, unless you crash it!
