BMW K75 750 Review

I own a K75S '88 model and absolutely love it. Unfortunately it is currently off road after taking me about 95 glorious 'k's'. I have owned quite a few Jap bikes and even an old Harley, but this babe cuts the cake. The 'S' has taken me over quite a bit of Australia, has proven itself as a regular commuter, always started first time, even on the coldest mornings. Handling? Well like any hub bike it takes a little getting used to after the ol' chains but I just love the transmission breaking once I got used to it - saves a lot on brake pads? Speed? Not the fastest 750 in the shed for sure but I have had her up to 195kph with still more to go. The acceleration I found more than adequate for an ol' codger and was able to easily weave my way through traffic in the city and on the open roads. Never dropped it - except on my first day out in peak hour city where I stopped at lights put my foot down into a pothole and found air, slowly leaning over until it grounded. Very embarrassing in front of the mega peak hour workers. They had a good chuckle though. It weren't that easy to pick up believe me but I did find out that the set was a little too tall for my short arse legs. I miss the ol' beema and am looking at either getting her back on the road or perhaps getting a 2nd hand k75RT. They'll do me until I am looking up at the grass.
