Hello from Finland! I joined to the forum since I was looking for the Karamba AKA K-diag and thought I had to sign in to download it. It wasn't necessary, but hey here I am!
my K-bike history:
I had been looking for the next bike after some years with my 125cc KTM duke. I still have it since the beemer haven't quite earned the trust as my primary transport. The insurance is the pain for such a youngster bike. I wanted to have some bigger bike for longer tours and classic K-bikes have one of the lowest insurances here. So now it is more cash for gas and less for insurance.
I fell in love with the idea of longitudinal engine and shaft drive. K75 seemed the more robust machine with better fuel economics (and less vibrations?). Year ago I bought a K75RT. It had been sitting for 10 years after a engine swap. It came with spare engine. It had (and still has) many rather strange problems but it is getting sorted out.
Nice behaving bike and what an awesome culture living around these bikes here online. One big reason why I bought one.
