Nice! Search this forum for "K75S Original Litter". What is the last 4 numbers of your VIN? That will tell when your bikes "birthday" was and which of us has your "littermates".

Yep, original paint and parts. Found a guy in Texas last year selling the fairing, lowers, mirrors and radiator trim panel online...all the parts were still in the factory box from Germany! Replaced all the front body panels last year and put a Russell Day Long saddle and GPS since then.
Great ride now with the heat insulating mods....I knocked out an 1k day last summer on it!
The color looks much more burgundy in the sun...we just don't get much sun in Vermont! I think it may be called Baja red?

I've had this bike for 4 years now and it's been great. Sadly, I have to sell it, see my ad in the flea market.
At the summit climbing out of the Jackson Hole on Highway 22, Teton Pass.
The 98 taxi and farkled up 03. Bought the 98 in June 2008, had to run out and buy another in August! Use the 03 to commute 150 miles to Philly from NEPA a couple times a week, although not much lately.![]()
After 37 years of bike ownership finally bought a Beemer

Hey, you should try to make it down to Cruso, NC for the 2nd annual Klassic K Campout this year - July 10-12 at Blue Ridge Motorcycle Camp (N 35 24.235 W 82 48.682). If you are planning to hit the MOA rally, this would be a worthwhile "detour" along the way, as it's scheduled for the previous weekend. Cruso is only ~100 miles south of this year's MOA rally site.
