SOLD: 1987 K75S 37k miles $2000 Firm, Nashville TN
« on: February 09, 2016, 09:20:02 AM »
I have a 1987 BMW k75s for sale, I recently purchased this as a project last fall to fix up and have as a touring bike for myself, however my priorities have changed. I purchased the bike in September of 2015 at 36k miles and it had sat for a few years. Services I did at 36k miles to make it road worthy again include,

New sealed Westco battery
New rear tire
New Rear brake pads
All new fuel lines
New Breather hose
New engine oil/oil filter
New final Drive gear oil
New Transmission Gear oil
New ignition switch (they commonly fail on these bikes)
New Driveshaft
Clutch spline Lube
Both ends of Drive shaft and final drive splines lubed

EDIT:Can relocate bike up to Aurora IL if that helps anyone. Also will consider $2000 cash to a fellow bricker. I really need the space in my garage.

The bike currently has 37,800 miles rode it to barber vintage and back without any issue.

rear brake is slightly warped you can feel it during hard braking under 15mph.

I'd rather keep them with the bike for now.

Did it go down on the right side and break the mirror, or why is it missing?

Previous owner removed the mirrors to put on his k75c, Not joking when I say this he bailed on the "project" half way through and lost one.

Curious why I see so many low milage FS...? I'm guessing your itching for something new.

Rare are the bikes that pile up great mileage.  Most bikes get ridden when new, then less, and less, then they sit for years.

I got plenty of other bikes and recently acquired an r100gs I have a knack for the airheads. I still love the k, definitely is more refined than the airheads. I need space in my garage!
