loved my k75
I owned a k75 and it was a wonderful traveling bike. I did a track day at Barber Raceway, part of the time with a passenger. I rode two of the three 20 minute sessions per hour. 240? miles. Another time I rode through the pits at walking speeds and less with over 400 lbs of rider and different passenger. Over Deals Gap with passenger and a trailer and home 150ish miles at about 100 mph. I rode 70 miles to Steel drag way, made a few passes and rode home. (14.3 @96 mph) It had bias ply tires, that don't grip like wide radials, but it was both stable and agile and a more than willing ....say an eager accomplice that would simply purr at different frequencies. My friend rode his k100rt to a much easier 240,000 mikes before getting another k bike. The k100 model tends to be cheaper because the k75 vibrates less and is "sweeter". And the vibration of a k100 does not prevent racking up some serious miles.....This bike did not care how fast or how slow I wanted to go. It was always a pleasure to ride. I will have another. ratbikemike
