I am a young motorcyclist with about 18 bikes already under my belt, and I just picked up my first K75, a 1995 silver K75 with the low seat & hard cases. I am absolutely in love with this bike! I also have a 2000 BMW R1100R, and that bike is also great, but very different. The K75 just feels like an amazing combination of engine, transmission, and overall design. My rear splines have been lubricated, and the bike shifts great. I might look into lubing the front splines once we get into winter (bike has 29k miles on it currently). This forum is an excellent resource. Pretty much every question I can think of has already been answered (twice). I will be lurking for a while, as I get started on some basic maintenance. I am looking forward to putting a lot of miles on this beast. Once I find the right price on a top case, I might start planning my first long trip. Who knows, I might even look for another K75 when the time is right!
