New Blue Brick

[jaxon]

Howdy,

New 1992 K75S owner. Former 2008 R1200RT owner. Had a 2004 Ultra Classic but I was too attractive to legitimately own it. I didn't look like I belonged on it because I didn't ride it wearing shorts and flip flops.

Much awesome info goodness here.

Was going to buy a 88 K75S but the guy sold it halfway into my 3 hour drive to get it. Lucky I found another in the same area and bought it. It has ABS so I broke out more bills for this.

Welcome, nice bike, have fun!

Welcome to the asylum from the land of OZ. I have always considered the K75S as the pick of the litter, and yours looks great.
Regards Martin.

Good looking S, the best of the K75's.  Aeroflow, Corbin, iconic 22 litre box, you're ready for adventure.

Fantastic looking bike

Welcome!

nice find!  how did you find it?

[jaxon]

Searched the internet will a fine tooth comb. The best finds are the guys that own several BMW's. This guy also had a 75RT.

First one I wanted was sold on the way to get it. The guy wouldn't accept an escrow payment in full. Health issues was the only reason he put it on the market. Poor dude. The man that bought the first one I wanted relisted it a day after I bought this one. Said it didn't work for him and he jumped the gun. "Too quiet and smooth."  :musicboohoo:

Trying to talk the wife into getting it for *her.* She's in her 2nd stage of grief (anger) over me getting this one. She'd stay in that stage longer if I picked up the first one I looked at. Great price, low miles. I figured she throw me out of the house, but I own it. So she'd have to go. Now that I think about it, I could have 2 bikes and a new girlfriend, but it would cost me 10 new bikes to do it after all was said and done.

New tires! I'll be a bead breaking fool tomorrow. Maybe the beads will make a fool out of me. If I can't I'll take them done to Falcone BMW.

 Yours is stunning. Whew. I need some King's Blue (680) to touch up the lower fairing a wee bit. I found a place in England that has it.

Shipping is more than the paint. Dang.

Check out the paint from Route 66 Colours in Missouri, should be able to get specific BMW match. Beautiful bike! You should have gotten both bikes, cause you can always just date your ex-wife.........

Thanks so much.  I have been searching without joy for Silk Blue Metallic and found it there.  best - Lee

Very nice!

I've found the riding position for my 5' 11" inch frame just about perfect on this bike and with ABS, Sargent seat and heated grips it's my commuter mule and cross-country bike.

Also a big plus is the BMW K-bike community which, like the Airhead, is full of information and advice.

I've used their Mystic Red and it was a perfect match.   They claim to have a match for every color BMW offered.
