Were it not for the crappy economy and my finding my most favorite BMW motorcycle (this K75 is a very close second), you would not ever have the chance to buy this bike.
This 1993 K75S is as mechanically solid as their reputation holds. Its a beautiful bike, but it is almost 20 years old (by production date). It has signs of it actually being ridden (shock, I know - most BMW motorcycles nowadays are lifestyle playtoys - disgusting). I got the bike in mid 2006 with 15.9K miles on it from a previous owner (2nd, I do believe) that rode it only occasionally, and had let it sit - usual neglect and issues ensuing. I fixed all the issues and have enjoyed riding this smooth, classic motorcycle. Along the way to 53.9K miles, I've made a few upgrades: Added a topcase with additional turn signals and brake lights. Upgraded the front forks to Progressive Suspension springs. Upgraded the rear shock to a matching Progressive Suspension unit. Recently installed new BT45V's on the bike - much better than the previous set of Conti (No)Go tires. Installed Kisan Technologies SignalMinder turn signal relay (self-cancelling and same-side cancelling, t/s as running lights). Installed 'GS' Handguards to help deflect wind in the cold & rain. Who should buy this bike: - Someone who has had one (or at least another BMW) before - Someone who is looking for their third, fourth, or ninth bike... ![]() - Anyone who truly knows that any day on two wheels in the cold rain is better than the brightest, sunny day inside a car Who should NOT buy this bike: - New Riders (This is NOT the bike for you) - Squids (If you have to ask what this is, you're not one - maybe) - If you crash a lot (or recently) on your current and past motorcycles Terms: CASH ONLY (As in US Dollars, no checks, money orders, bank wire transfers, etc.) AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS (legalese for if you buy it, its yours) LOCAL PICKUP ONLY - I will NOT ship it (but I might consider riding it to you within a reasonable distance once you've bought the bike) Please be informed - do your research/homework before you contact me. P.S. If you give me my asking price, there are "extras" and regular maintenance parts that will be yours. No I won't be specific in the ad, but you'll be glad you did pay what I'm asking. ![]()

Price is $3250 from his CL ad.
I'll second Moira's comment. You won't find a better maintained motorcycle, ever. Josh's OCD makes the rest of us look like slobs.
