1990 K75S for sale

1990 BMW K75S - Blue
[/size]70k milesEngine and trans good conditionCosmetically poor condition*Comes w/ well-worn Corbin Canyon saddle, seen in the pictures. Not included but available for negotiation are a pristine Corbin Rumble saddle and well-worn but fully functional side-cases.This was my daily rider until a bicycle accident last spring. I am selling it because I am retiring from motorcycling. I have owned this bike since 2007 and it is my 2nd BMW K75. Many parts have been replaced (main seal, trans seals, clutch, brand new tires, water/oil pump seal, rear shock, LED lights in instrument cluster, steering head bearings). Needs nothing to be ridden, except minor work on fairing/headlight mount would be helpful, and seat does not fully attach. Always used Mobil 1 Synthetic for frequent motor oil, trans, and final drive oil. The mileage is genuinely not that high for a K-bike. It runs very well, consumes very little oil, does not leak, and has excellent power. Valves were last checked around 2012 or 10k miles ago. LED dual-function rear running and brake lights and upgrades LED instrument cluster bulbs. Fork gaitors/booties. New rear shock. Progressive fork springs. (Have original shock and springs if you want them.)[/color]

Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do or do without. This guy is a star practitioner!

Your avatar features a complete and much better looking K75S; same bike? Can you provide some history? Is the frame a-okay? Just curious. Your machine is funky, but hey if it's still rideable then more power to you. I notice a good quality shock and nice tires! Best of luck with the sale.

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone...


Yes, it is the same bike! If you see the other pics in my ad I do still have the fairings. Just wanted to go naked for a while. I will probably put them back on for sale and re-post pictures. The bike has been worn a good deal though since the avatar pic (about 8 years ago).
