Hi Folks,
I thought I was completely satisfied with the bikes I had (00 KTM 640 Adventure, 05 Husqvarna TC250, 10 KTM690 Duke, and 15 Moto Guzzi Stelvio) then I watched the FortNine video about the K75.
Truth be told, I wanted an old bike to putz around with but not an antique. Came close to buying an old Guzzi but I couldn't get the K75 out of my head. After a great deal of timeobsessing spent educating myself and trying to buy one, I bought a 92 K75RT from Dave Clark's Forever Endeavor in Pacific, MO last month.
Dave is a great guy and really knows his stuff. While I wanted more of a project, it's nice to not have to do anything to the bike for a long time.
This is my 5th BMW. I thought I'd never own another after my 96 GS. I was fed up the company's we're always right attitude and sold it with a rear main leak around 05. I spent most of the last 20 years on a Speed Triple, Futura, Dorsoduro, and a few Guzzi's.
But I've always liked K's. Living in Los Angeles, we'd always go to the big Cycle World show and sit on them. Tested a K1100RS at Marty's but bought one of the first Oilheads instead (number 608).
Back when I was 27, the RT was just too old man for me. I'm not sure what's happened since, but I cannot believe how much I like this thing.
