Now for the technical stuff:
The BMW K75 is a standard motorcycle produced by BMW Motorrad from 1985 to 1995. At the time of its introduction, the K75 was BMW's cheapest motorcycle. It offered a claimed acceleration of 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h).

All K75 models share the same drivetrain. They are powered by a 740 cc liquid-cooled inline three-cylinder engine with Bosch fuel injection. The US EPA specific engine produce 68 hp (51 kW) while all others produce 75 hp (56 kW). They utilize a five-speed transmission with a dry clutch and a shaft-driven final drive. The engine is oriented longitudinally to lower the center of gravity and allow the most efficient power transfer to the shaft drive.

Various models of the K75:

  • K75 -- a naked bike with no fairing
  • K75T -- a US-only touring model with a windscreen, touring bags, engine crash bars, and a rear top case
  • K75C -- with a small handlebar mounted 'cockpit' fairing
  • K75S -- with sports fixed fairing and lower bars
  • K75RT -- with full fairing for 'road touring'

The S and RT versions have a rear disc brake and 17 inch rear wheels whereas the others have a single leading shoe drum brake and 18 inch rear wheels. A stiffer "anti-dive" front suspension was added to the S and RT models. The later RT versions had an adjustable windshield that could be raised or lowered. Some taller riders complained of wind buffeting with the smaller S model stock windscreens.
