I assumed with 1100 under me these would be faster. What are the other perks?
One of the other perks is that it helps you sweat off excess weight because it's likely to be much hotter to ride in South Florida than a K75S. Another perk is that it will help to continue your physical conditioning because it's 90lbs heaver than a K75S so when you drop it, your lats, traps, and quadriceps will get worked out. It will likely provide opportunity to develop your skill at body panel repair after a drop, too.
It's a later model so more of its parts are likely to be available. It has a later model of ABS so some of the bugs were worked out of the ABS brake system it received. Its engine management control unit system differs from the K75. Because it's heavier and runs quicker, it will be easier to kill armadillos and other critters on Alligator Alley or the Tamiami Trail. It's a useful tool for traveling
long distances with lots of gear quickly with more stability. Just view all of
johnny's photos of his travel on one—on slab, through twisties and along the gravel roads of the Southwest mesas.
As an investment, I can see a pristine model bringing top dollar at a
Bring A Trailer sale if the Moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter is aligned with Mars but elsewhere, the sale outcome would be a tossup. You could always transfer its transmission, swing arm and rear drive to a 75—like several owners have done—and then you'd own a
real Special K.
