Down the rabbithole
« on: July 19, 2024, 08:15:58 PM »
Hey there! I recently witnessed a K75 and fell in love.
Now, I am falling down the rabbithole and looking at getting one for myself.
I also posted in the Project Classics section with some questions.
Thank you!

Purchased a K75 last November and re-invigorated my passion for riding after years of not riding. Love the Flying Brick!! You will too.

K75s definitely the pick of the litter. And they have now gained new found respect with the Kronies due to the fact that nobody on K100's can catch a Kiwi on a K75s even with his missus on the pillion. 44271

 Who said Kiwis can't fly, Bruce is our flying Kiwi.  4265249878 Even though I'm also on a K75s I can only very occasionally stay with him.. If you ride it like a K100 the K75 will disappoint you.  The key to the 75 is to keep it revving and play the gears.
