Another new owner K75
« on: June 15, 2023, 08:18:22 PM »
New K75 owner here it’s a 1986
Needs a little love of course , but that’s whyI bought it.
Long time rider since 1974 have had a R75/6 back in the day and a lot of Guzzi’s
Pretty sure will be asking a lot of questions.
And lurking and reading a lot of old posts
Looks like a nice place
Located in Spokane, Washington

hello and welcome.  Is it running or a "ran when parked" deal?  Very solid motorcycles but they have their idiosyncrasies, you're at the right place to find answers.  And we need photos!

Thanks for the welcome
Yea she does run he started her for me purred like a kitten, as you can see him or the PO was turning it into a cafe bike.  The scoot was red Henna or some other red not sure
Had all the bits to make it a C again out side of front fender ( which I need ) and the luggage bag mounts
A few seats extra set of new Bridgestone BT46 he said and he has the stock exhaust system,
Oh yeah had clip ons , so this old guy is wanting a stock bar other wise I am happy  :lets-eat:

So this is how dumb I am
I got the original K75 C. So I got this C thru a sale of a vehicle  and that and money ( from him)
I loved how it built typical German engineering
I dug it so much a bit latter a bout a 1992 K75
Hell I don’t know a standard

* IMG_2819.jpeg (76.85 kB . 768x576 - viewed 147 times)I guess.
Mean while I will give the C more love and completely go thru it over the winter  and restore it to it former glory
