You must have been looking for it - or did it find you?

It's tempting me...

I'm keeping an eye out for a K75, I just don't really need one or a second bike.

A K75RT, but isn't that an RS fairing? Hard to see from the angle shown.

Confusing with the handlebar mirrors?

I was thinking the same thing, not an RT, but I did a quick search of google images and saw some that had the fairing removed and they kind of looked like that, but I didn't study it and figured the seller probably is a little clueless.

The thought of the look on my wife's face if i proposed even looking at it has kept me from inquiring about it.

I just thought I'd throw it out here in case anyone wasn't as matrimonially threatened as I would be.... Laughing

I'm confused, after consulting this K75 history page, http://www.verrill.com/moto/k75/k75.shtml, by none other than our own founding father Ted Verrill, I don't see a fairing like that at all on the K75's. Look more like a K1100RS fairing. But there was no K75RS.

Against my better judgement I've sent the seller an email asking for some more info. I'll let you know what I get back.

I believe that's a K100RS fairing without mirrors that someone has bolted on.
Could be a bit of a Frankenbike. I'd look it over extra closely before making an offer. Who knows the history something like that would have.
Looks like a Corbin gunfighter seat on it.

On enlarging the first image, the seat looks like the version where the backrest flips up, making room for a passenger.

Also at least the right side cover is missing. The left one?

This is the same upper fairing as my '92 K100RS but since the K75 engine is shorter, do a normal height riders legs fit in?

I also wonder the wisdom of whacking off the fairing mirrors- they block the wind nicely. And where are the front turn signals if the fairing mirrors aren't there?

I have often wondered about exchanging the bodywork over from my K75RT to the K1100RS to make a sports75 and a better touring K11
think the mounts are pretty close.
