Bmw Gs K75

The BMW K75 (a.k.a. the 'Flying Brick') is a spin-off from the German firm's K100 lineup. Introduced from 1986 to 1995, these 740-cc motorbikes aimed at being less intimidating by perfectly balancing dynamics and handling safety, effectively resetting the brand's seeming one-sidedness.

Boasting a BMW-exclusive Compact Drive System and state-of-the-art fuel injection (among other things. A few years ago I bought a BMW K75 RT as a daily driver, I was rebuilding my KLE 500 and didn't have a car at the time, so I was in need of something. The K75 was in production from 1985 to 1995 and at the time of its introduction, the K75 was BMW's least expensive motorcycle.

Developed alongside the K100 fours, the three-cylinder K75 was delayed by a year, as BMW wanted to cement the concept of K. BMW K75 RT (1992 - 1993) The BMW K75 was a standard motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 1985 to 1995. It was developed alongside the K100 model but released a year later as a marketing strategy.

Testing the K75 GS off. Here's a post about the bike figuring in my avatar. Riding bikes for 30 years, most of them were BMW GS or K (some of them were blue with sirens) I love the.

BMW K75: history, specifications, images, videos, manuals. 1988 BMW K75S. The eight-valve, liquid-cooled, 987cc K100 engine was rated at 90 horsepower at 8,000 rpm, whereas the 740cc K75C had 75 horses at 8,500.

1986-1992 BMW K75S Claimed power: 75hp @ 8,500rpm Top speed: 115mph (period test) Engine 740cc liquid-cooled, DOHC inline triple Weight (dry): 504lb Fuel consumption: 35-55mpg Price then/now: $5,950 (1987)/$2,900-$4,800 In the late 1970s, BMW's overhead valve boxer twins were looking rather dated alongside the feisty 4-cylinder offerings from Japan. They were also down on power, performance. I love the abilities of the GS to ride either on or off road, and love the confort and reliability of the K.

So I've been wondering why BMW never made a K75 or K100GS, that would be a perfect long range trail bike.
