1988 BMW K75C with R90S cafe fairing. The bike has 72k miles (about average for K-Bikes). These motors are good for many, many more. Mine burns practically NO oil. The K75, if you don't already know, is 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, and I have no idea if this maroon/wine color is an original BMW color or not, but the color is great! In my opinion, this fairing and the K100RS fairing are the best looking options for the K-bikes, this one being the more sporty, badass treatment. It also has the lower K75S handlebars, which are perfect for twisty mountain roads. The bike runs beautifully, and it is a joy to ride. This is not exactly the setup I want, though. As much as I LOVE the looks and handling of it, I want a bigger fairing and higher bars for commuting duties. So, away it goes. Mechanically it is excellent, body is very good, paint is generally pretty good (and shiny), but it has its imperfections (see photos). Rear tire is new, front has about 25% tread. PROS:This bike starts, runs, rides, shifts, handles, and 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, and 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, with no cracks.Great looking and rare cafe fairing mod, with mid-low handlebars.Original BMW luggage (functions well, with only one small crack on bottom of one case, where 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, but has some off areas (see photos). Prices on old K-bikes are all over the map. I looked on eBay, and nationwide on Craigslist. I think my asking price is reasonable. I'm not interested in low-ball offers. I'm an honest seller, and 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, CA (Richmond Annex, to be precise). My name is Jarod, and I'm the owner. I am currently out of town, but you can call my friend, Galen at 510-502-9881, if you'd like to see the bike. Thanks for looking!
