    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.

    I own a 1991 BMW K75S that I bought almost 3 years ago with 100,000 miles on the odometer for $4,000 cash. It is fitted with panniers, top box, heated grips, ABS, Motolights, Spiegler floating discs and braided ss brake lines. My other rides include a 1984 BMW R65 with panniers and weather shield and a Yamaha XV1100 Virago cruiser. The R65 is the best handling on the three because of its lower weight and shorter wheelbase. The big V-twin Virago has the most power. The K75S has the best acce ...

    The BMW K75 is simple, quiet and a dream to ride. It is the smoothest motorcycle around. It does fine on the freeway you can throw it around the twisties with ease.

    However, the seat is high and it can be awkward to push around the garage and driveway for short folks. It just takes some getting used to, but once you ' re moving, it is perfectly balanced.

    I am truly humbled and honored to ride the K75. It is by far the best riding experience I have ever had. It has got to be the quietest, ...

    Talking to the guy that was running a local dealership in Reading when they sold and serviced BMWs he told me about a K75RT that they looked after for a local courier that had done over a million miles!! now thats what I call value!

    I have owned a BMW K75S 1986 for the last 3 years. I have been on 1500km trips with panniers full and girl on the back.
    I have ridden it in the wind, rain etc.
    It now has 75000km on and will do another easy.
    Regular oil changes and sometimes the plugs is all that is needed.
    Definitely a commuter but you can also go away on it.

    Of my 5 BMW motorcycles, my K75 is my favorite to ride for long distances on the freeways. I'm currently riding my 2nd K75, my 1st having been crushed by a tree that blew over in a strong wind. But with a few used parts (acquired through Ebay) and a few hours wrenching, the bike is now back on the road, with nearly 100,000 miles on the clock.
    My 'new' K75 is 20 yrs. old, very reliable and smooth, very user-friendly, well-balanced, great in traffic, nimble, quick (at high RPM), stops well, goes w ...

    I just bought 1990 BMW K75RT - low miles and great condition - a lot of bike for the money. I don't know if I'll keep it - I like the ride but the engine heat is too much for me (at least, in Phoenix, in the summer - but I only ride at night...).
    This machine is solid and smooth on the freeway, handles very well. If I lived in a colder climate I'd love this machine.

    I like my BMW K75RT very much. These bikes seem to hold their value well. The 3 cylinder flying brick engine is almost bomb proof. Mine has the air-adjustable mono shock that allows the rider to adjust the suspension for his riding style. This is a great bike for around town or the open road. It has plenty of power to haul my 250 lbs around plus lots of space for storage.

    I have a BMW K75, love it but much as bobby says it IS a great roadster and super M way bike practically rides itself - problem is to keep awake! And it is fast, super cruise 90, slides quietly and unnoticeable up to 120 even 130 and it do take big load. I'm 71 and I love it - was going to add a trailer but have been pulling mine a lot on trailer behind motor home (only problem loading solo but devised floor trailer and three ramps for walk-up aboard. Good economy, great everything else and love ...

    Although you can ride within the city, this thing is built for the highway. And it is beautiful. At the top end you really get the responsiveness that a lot of other bikes just don't have.
    Parts are easy to get and maintenance is merely the regular annual stuff - not a breakdown in anything.

    It is a new departure for me to buy such a bike as the BMW K75. Over the years of reading various reviews, and my own experience of the huge chasm in terms of quality, I went against the knee scratcher appeal and opted for quality, insurability, and load capacity etc. BMW have an annoying marketing profile, and dealers are painful in Ireland. The K75 is for all that, an impressive machine that makes light of high mileage.
