Description

1988 BMW K75C with R90S cafe fairing. The bike has 72k miles (about average for K-Bikes). These motors are good for many, any more. Mine burns practically NO oil. The K75, f you don't already know, s considered by many to be one of the best overall bikes BMW has ever made. A previous owner added the bullet fairing and repainted it. The bike was originally black, nd I have no idea if this maroon/wine color is an original BMW color or not, ut the color is great! In my opinion, his fairing and the K100RS fairing are the best looking options for the K-bikes, his one being the more sporty, adass treatment. It also has the lower K75S handlebars, hich are perfect for twisty mountain roads. The bike runs beautifully, nd it is a joy to ride. This is not exactly the setup I want, hough. As much as I LOVE the looks and handling of it, want a bigger fairing and higher bars for commuting duties. So, way it goes. Mechanically it is excellent, ody is very good, aint is generally pretty good (and shiny), ut it has its imperfections (see photos). Rear tire is new, ront has about 25% tread.
PROS:This bike starts, uns, ides, hifts, andles, nd brakes really nicely. Buy it and ride it. I wouldn't hesitate to ride it across the country.
Service within the last 6 months:Recently detailed, nd looking sharp! All fluids changedNew turn signal/horn/lights switch stalkNew starter relayNew rear tire (98% tread)Rear transmission splines checked and lubed (very good shape - I took pictures)Replaced bent side stand with a very nice used one.
All plastic is intact, ith no cracks.Great looking and rare cafe fairing mod, ith mid-low handlebars.Original BMW luggage (functions well, ith only one small crack on bottom of one case, here you can't see it)
CONS:No records (beyond the recent service listed above). Don't ask - I don't know previous history at all.Speedometer shows about 10mph fast. Common problem and repairable.Paint is great overall for a daily rider, ut has some off areas (see photos).
Prices on old K-bikes are all over the map. I looked on eBay, nd nationwide on Craigslist. I think my asking price is reasonable. I'm not interested in low-ball offers. I'm an honest seller, nd this is a very solid bike. Feel free to ask any questions or have a mechanic do a pre-buy inspection on it. Come see it and take it for a spin.
The bike is located in Richmond, A (Richmond Annex, o be precise). My name is Jarod, nd I'm the owner. I am currently out of town, ut you can call my friend, alen at 510-502-9881, f you'd like to see the bike. Thanks for looking!
