BMW K75 750 Review

Ebrooks's Response to bobby75's Review

The reviewer's comment:
<br/>
<br/>"BMW have an annoying marketing profile, and dealers are painful in Ireland", is intriguing but too brief. I wish he had expanded. I am very much into BMW&#039;s in the US but my experience does not help me understand what the annoying profile would be or how the Irish dealers are painful.
<br/>
<br/>That is not at all to say that I question the reviewer&#039;s comment, only that it makes me all the more curious.
<br/>
<br/>I will add a comment of my own on the K75. Although I never owned one of this model, I did have the opportunity to use one overnight when I was having my bike serviced.
<br/>
<br/>Since it is an in-line water cooled engine it is very smooth and quiet, and almost vibration free. It does have the semi-cafe racer bars (not what is sometimes called the "sit up and beg" position). I didn&#039;t find them a problem, although I would not want the full cafe racer type.
<br/>
<br/>I would say the K75 would most suit the rider who likes a relatively light weight quiet cruising motorcycle. The one draw back for some riders is the lack of reserve horsepower. I found that it wound up tight at about 85 mph.
