"One note, and maybe I’m preaching to the choir:
Coming from airheads (I’ve had about 35 or so), I’ve always been told a k75 is a great engined bike, but has no character. Riding back under very far from ideal circumstances last night, I didn’t feel that way at all. I would have screamed for joy for my R bikes to run as smoothly as this abandoned k75 did last night. I would have started threads on ADV detailing how I got there. I’d have written novels about the smooth tractability of the power. Do people just not like the K architecture as much? The frame felt great, and I had NO rear suspension. I can only imagine how much more I’ll love it with actual function. Is this me having rose colored glasses on because I moved from a bike built in 71 to one built in 91?"
Having owned a couple of R bikes and a K100-RS, I agree with your comments 100%. A K-75 is a joy to ride, you are spot on.
