Hi folks,

Thanks for the add! I'm probably not the first person to be intrigued by FortNine's K75 "Million-Mile Motorcycle" video. I did some more research and I liked what I discovered. When a '92 K75S popped up for sale close to home, I went to see it and bought it. It should be home this coming Saturday.

I'm not new to biking - I've had my license for 37 years and have owned a few. Currently in the garage, waiting for company, is a 1999 Suzuki Bandit 1200S.

I look forward to meeting new members and learning more about the K75. I am a hands-on guy and do most of my own work.

WelKome to the forum. We have many a fine folk from 'up north' as members here. You've picked a gem in the list of K bikes on offer. Some would say the K75 engine is the finest. It's certainly the smoothest, when running properly, as compared to its four cylinder brethren. The 'S' is a particular favourite of mine, tho' I do not currently own one.

Once you get the bike home, go to the Profile tab above, select Signature, and enter the bike's year, model (& last seven digits of the VIN if you wish) there so the answer is available for members to see when you have a question that requires that specific.

Nice! Another K-anadian. I've been to Ottawa many times. I used to live down on the Bay of Quinte.

Riding motorcycles for at least 25 years
I purchased my first 1985 K100 RT  a couple of weeks ago. It will be a slow but steady building process counting with all the experience from this forum and a good number of hours of research.
I ride an Aprillia Dorsoduro 900 as my main ride, but I’m getting at an age  that I need something less aggressive and a more  classy ride.

I’m located in Michigan,
Thanks again
Ride safe
