Took one of my K75s down to The Bay Area and back last week.
Went for a day ride with an R-biker:
Awful weather:
CA96 - one of the better roads in California along the Klamath River:
I hit the jackpot along the way - 77777:
Hecata Head Lighthouse along the Oregon coast:

Meh, he's not all THAT bad. He owned a 93 LT for a while and then recently replaced it with an 03 K1200GT. He also owned a K75 in the past and wants to buy/make a K100 with a C fairing. So I cut him some slack on the R-bike thing.

If this Covid crap comes to an end, you and I need to meet and ride. I'm a couple hours north of the Mass/NH border.

You pics bring back memories. I had a red 1990 K75S for awhile: smooth and very enjoyable. But once I rode what would become my K1100RS, THAT'S the bike I had for twenty years!

I built this. It's essentially a K1100RS powered by a K75 motor. Not as fast as a K1100RS but SMOOTH and with less weight and skinnier K1100LT wheels it's easier to toss around in the turns than a K1100RS.
But I still love riding my K1100RS too.

I never felt as comfortable cornering the K75S as I did my K1100RS. As much as anything it was probably the stickier rubber I ran on the RS.

You can run sticky radials on a K75 or K100. All of mine have radials that I have full confidence in. They ride much better with radials than with bias ply tires like they came with from the factory.
