BMW K75 750cc 87/88 (E)

Review Caspar says it all: I absolutely agree but...at 71.5 annos it IS a bit big...well overweight- about towns and a handful on scratchy tracks and tiny roads, especially round the hilly vineyards of Fitou and suchlike Med coast French places. And yes, just a tad high for an ancient! I've only done 6000 dries on it (its 1992 and I bought it only three years past after it had three (must have been careful) owners. I added a floor to my trailer(I tow behind a classic Merc 204 (2.5asp diesel) Hymer motorhome - 1978 annos- but had to add floor and two extra ramps to trailer to walk Beemer aboard. Works it only toppled (on me) once but a bit hairy. AND it IS a heavy tow especially of you have other stuff on trailer. Scratchy tracks and windy little five ft wide roads round mountains AINT wot de Beemer's for! Fair does: the original intention was nice elderly gent speeds. On 80-90% of motorways in Europe ( and save nasty extortionate French M-way charges. Bikes are now a lowest class 5) but all too often woke up; to find speedo wandering about 120 (MPH!)(effortlessly).Try telling that to a French Gendarme!- Well actually I did and nope he didn't not believe m he just chatted about how nice my Beemer was, how good for long distance,noted my greybeard and climbed on his almost brand new Honda to vanish off into the great Burgundy yonder. Now was that my ancient biker image or the Beemer? Both I think !Merci M'sieu Gendarme tres gentile. Interim I do be having a (rare?) Honda CM 400, now 24annos (picked up for £950 a few years back in a BMW showroom (the only non Beemer in sight). Turned out to have been one very very careful owner who died at 17,000KMS bequeathed to nephew who persuaded Beemer deeler to take the pee for something flashier. Mind it has been a very long way since it now has circa 19000 KMS! But not as fast as the Beemer - squattier and perhaps more comfortable for my aged frame and I'll miss the heated grips,and windprotection of the Beemer but then, I'm not planning much if any winter biking. So the Beemer must I think go (have cousin who professes to want it unless I swop or trade for a nifty 125 or something. Easy tow, easy urban and easy scratchy track and it will hurt to say goodbye. It was a short acquaintance but in that short time Beemer became(still is) a real good and reliable pal and only asked me to replace a (cut on scratchy track) front tyre! About rating: It MUST be rated as main road super transporter it would not be fair to consider minor road or tracks as suitable for such a bike (although I HAVE been on some frightening and hairy windies in the mountains)! Anyone interested swops? or pXe? Two wheels only and I DO have a yacht, the Honda400, 2 small and one big motorhomes and... Oh yes I also have a Piaggio Liberty so no interest in scooters. Well not much Submitted by defitz in Belfast, County Antrim on 26/02/2008 This review has been shown 42201 times Write a Review for BMW K75 See ads for BMW K75 for sale

Review Great all around bike, and with luggage it is tough to beat. Could be a bit more powerful, but everything else, especially the smoothness makes up for that.

Overall Rating:

Review If you want a bike for all weathers, long distance touring, or a sound commuter, I would reccommend the K75 RT. Comfortable riding position, the fairing keeps the weather off, though it does make things a bit top heavy at lower speeds. Engine is very torquey, and runs smoothly at all speeds. Mine had panniers fitted which came in very handy. Fuel injection was my main worry when I bought the bike, but it never gave me any problems, and was very fuel efficient. A very reliable and stable bike. Submitted by UKBike Archive in Hassocks, West Sussex on 01/12/2001 This review has been shown 62896 times Write a Review for BMW K75 See ads for BMW K75 for sale

Overall Rating:

Review I should have known when the old chap, selling the motorbike, told me the reason for selling was that he couldn’t get the large German up his sloping drive. Yes, this was one big motorcycle all right. It was a BMW ‘K’ series, with its great big sail of a fairing and touring panniers, the BMW K75 RT to be exact. This was BMWs first romance with in line engines, back in the mid 80s and resulted in a 750cc in line 3 cylinder (as well as a 4 cylinder 1,000cc). It was a large beast and let’s name him ‘Fritz’. My life with Fritz was one of love and hate. I loved the turbine like quality of that 750cc engine it was a case of Deutchland Uber Alles; it had some real road presence and style. I was a serious motorcyclist on a bike like this and this Teutonic motorcycle was the ‘Uber Papa’ of them all. The bike when I purchased it in 2005 had ridiculously low mileage for a 1992 tourer (something like 7,000 miles and it really had done such a low mileage its first owner stored it in a barn for most of its life), but the ABS had packed up (make sure you check its working if the bike has ABS fitted) and the BMW service charges were prohibitive. A standard main service was about £400 and I was not convinced that Fritz was worth this much. The nearest BMW motorcycle dealer was at least 50 miles away, this meant I couldn’t spoil Fritz in a real BMW workshop and he had to make do with a local motorcycle workshop. The ride was indeed solid allied to its shaft drive (no messy chain). It did manage to make light of the bad weather too, with the large fairing taking most of the rain and wind away from the rider. Even taller riders than me (I’m 5’ 8”) would have found low speed filtering difficult on an RT though; with its big fairing I found this a top heavy bike and with the car like rear view mirrors, the width of Fritz was such that he must have existed on a diet of bratwurst and beer in prodigious quantities for most of his life. This bike had a very large waistline. You didn’t chuck Fritz around corners; you gently went round them and respected his majesty and poise. I only racked up a few thousand miles, but it never missed a beat and I would expect these engines will achieve high trouble free mileages. There was a real BMW biker brother hood out there too; BMW riders were mature and sensible types by and large. You were also very unlikely to get pulled by the Old Bill on Fritz, in fact until recently the K series was a widely used Police motorcycle (the K750 production line ceased in about 1996 or 97). When the time came to put Fritz away in my own garage, I found that even with a fairly moderate incline this was a hefty German lad. I met my Waterloo at a petrol station, I was being a little disrespectful to big Fritz by riding slowly after filling up, one hand on my throttle grip and the other trying to flip down my lid visor, well the embarrassment, was total as Fritz toppled over with me at 2 mph in the middle of the forecourt. Little damage was done as the panniers seemed to take most of the impact and apart from my pride, all was intact. I even managed to pick Fritz up and ride away. So it was love and hate. If I had been a few inches taller Fritz and I would have got on much better. But he was a big German farmer type and I was a short British bloke, who needed to find something a little more manageable. But I couldn’t fault Fritz, he did what he was supposed to do and although Fritz had been well restored from his down time in the barn (he’d even been professionally re sprayed), we just didn’t hit it off, due to his size and my shortness of leg. Despite this I would give Fritz a good report, he was sensible, did what he was supposed to do, without any fuss. But at the end of the day he drank lots of beer and ate German sausage in massive quantities. We were just chalk and cheese him and me but I liked my big Teutonic pal and we parted best of friends; indeed so popular are these 750cc machines I sold Fritz for what I paid for him nine months previously. This Beemer motorbike was a good solid lad - top marks and auf weidersehn Fritz.

Overall Rating:

Review If you want a smooth economical and reliable tourer/commuter this is the bike for you. It copes with the British weather admirably. The shaft drive means no messy chain fiddling and the massive fairing keeps you fairly dry in all but the heaviest rain. Not for the sports rider though; this is teutonic solidity and some would say its a tad boring. But it depends what you want. The handling is OK but don't do any scratchies on it. I have Pirellis' but I understand Bridgestones are much better. Economy is pretty good too and it turns in about 50 mpg and you can get 200 miles plus per tankful. I think BMW missed a trick when they phased this smooth reliable 750cc engine out; it is turbine smooth and in my few months of ownership no reliability problems of any kind. Overall a good bike and the sort of bike that grows on you and if it were a person you'd say it 'was a really good bloke'.

Review Bought a K75(unfaired, low seat) when house move required 50 mile a day commute. Used as daily transport for 15 months and 20000 miles. Bike had 30000 on clock when purchased, now 50k+ and still going strong. Everything that has been written about brick reliability has proved correct. The only fault with the naked K75 was the naff suspension and handling on anything less than brand new tyres rapidly deteriorating. Dealer servicing costs for BMs are very expensive, save dealers for valve clearances and major servicing jobs only. Despite being the most reliable bike I have ever owned I actually found myself only using the thing for necessary journeys. What is the point of the complexity of a single sided swing arm and monoshock if the handling is no better than any early 80s Jap UJM? Bike had ABS fitted, only used it in anger once and can say it definitely works, but the few times I would have liked the security of ABS (ie: when temperature overnight has been well below zero overnight)system didn't work until temperature rose to above freezing (sensor lens freezing?). Original equipment screen made 80mph relatively painless but being 6'2" caused buffetting and wind noise to the point that I wish I'd bought shares in the company that made earplugs. Engine had an on/off switch for economy depending on speed. If used at motorway speed (ie:80-90) economy dropped to 35mpg but dawdling along twisty A roads at 50-60 gave an amazing 70+ mpg. Engine soaks up distance, 300 mile+ days are no problem day after day. Unfortunately low seat is painful after half that! Converting to standard seat height possible but mega bucks. Overall impression is extremely practical, reliable transport but then so are most cars. Basically devoid of any character or kicks that make riding a bike more than just getting from A to B.Would recommend a Kawasaki GT750 over K75 for running costs and riding pleasure, but BM is far more durable. The bike really needs an extra 15-20 horsepower and better suspension at both ends. That's why I p/ex'd bike for a 2 valve K100RS which I suppose is a compliment to the marque.

Review After a year and almost ten thousand miles of riding, I have to give the K 75 my approval. I was nervous about buying a new fangled bike with no carbs, no points and a radiator, but now I have seen the light. It all adds up to "No Hassle." It also took me two months to decide to buy her, a little metallic black K 75 with no suffixes but made up to look like an "S." But I am a BMW fan, one of those folks who think they are beautiful to look at. There she sat, at my local bike shop, pretty in that odd BMW way, just waiting for me to take her home. < >< >I live in the American Southwest, where long straight roads carry riders across barren flats to winding mountain roads, from 245 feet below sea level to 6,000 + feet above. The K 75 has been a joy on all of them and hasn't missed a beat from Death Valley to the San Francisco Peaks, in blistering heat or stinging snow.< >< >On the flat, straight highways, she will eat up the miles at any legal speed and then some. K 75's are not going to burn rubber off the line and blow by the latest rice-burners, but they aren't about that, anyway. Just put in your ear plugs, lower your face mask, and roll it on. That smooth power can easily make you succumb to "Rapture of the Motorcycle." If you do, you may well find youself with some difficult 'splaining to do, at best, or, at worst, so I was recently advised (ahem), carried off to jail.< >< >My K 75 can handle the curves, too, although it took me a few thousand miles to get used to the high axis. I could have opted for a lower rear shock to get both feet flat on the ground at traffic lights, but am glad I didn't. The extra height makes it possible to really lean into those switch-back turns without dragging anything, and the K 75 responds well to a combination of counter steering and what I have come to know as "butt steering."< >< >I bought my K 75 when it was ten years old, and the previous owner hadn't taken care of the drive shaft regularly. To be fair, BMW never specified the splines as a maintenance point. Thus, the ones on the posterior end of my shaft were shot, and I got the new shaft, to the tune of four and a half yards. My mechanic recommended I have him (too much hassle for me)lube the splines regularly, like every 20K-Miles from then on. I also have an "S-Type" fairing, a Corbin Seat and a few gizmos like heated hand grips (How did I live without them?) and a high altitude switch (I can't tell the difference, but I use it anyway.).< >< >All-in-all, I am glad I bought the littlest K bike. I plan to ride it many more miles. Submitted by UKBike Archive in Hassocks, West Sussex on 07/09/2002 This review has been shown 60902 times Write a Review for BMW K75 See ads for BMW K75 for sale
