new one

[gcarper]

Today I bought a 1995 K75, had one several years ago and wanted it back since.  My "new" one is a couple of years newer though.  I also have a 2013 Honda CB1100 and a 2021 KTM 890 Duke r.  I'm 83 and have probably 750 K miles under the seat, would like to break  a million but---who knows??   Live in Gaffney SC and along with my pals--all over 70--ride the great mountain roads around here.

Welcome, gcarper! Is your new one an RT, an S or naked? How many miles on it?

[beemuker]

We wanna see pics

[gcarper]

I really don't know which model it is---there is no fairing .  I'll get some pix and post them.  It has 23K miles on it.

Put the last seven digits of the serial number on your registration in this VIN checker.

According to the vin checker I guess it a standard naked

That's what it is, alright.

WOW, thanks Volador for all the info, I hope I don't need it too much.  This is my 5th Beemer---2 R100s { one of which I bought in Germany during my AF tour there }, R65 and 2 K75s.
Thanks again and ride safe.

Good to have the resources at the ready. Your moto looks well kept/low mileage and if you have maintenance history you'll hopefully be spared wrenching.

I'd look at the driveshaft & final drive splines to verify condition & proper grease application. Good luck
