The K75s is a sublime machine, with exotic good looks ... like the Sophia Loren of motorcycling. Add the dependability of Mrs. Cleaver or Mary Poppins, and it's a formidable mix. Rider's often notice the bike, but don't know how to relate to it. Oh, the mystery and enigma that is a K75.

I'll update this for my Gen X folks....its a mix of Ginger and Mary Ann!

According to the Internet's take on inflation since 1993 my scoot (naked, no bags) would cost $20,060 new, in today's American dollars. Even with inevitable small repairs, the fun to cost value ratio is outstanding on a pre-owned K.

Yes but you'll need to use longer bolts with spacers because the K1100 mounts are wider (outside of the frame) than a K75 (under the frame.)

K75:

NICE ROAD!

I'm still having some minor PTSD from crashing in Saskachewan last summer, a road that looked a lot like that but had considerably deeper gravel.

Does the K75 have the holes in the rear fairing to mount a rack that was on a K1100RS?

Thanks, I'll go with the radiator clamp approach.
