How many more of the original litter are still kicking? Anyone??

All US spec K75Ss were frame (VIN) numbered consecutively, starting with the last six #s of 150001.

The original litter from May of 1986 was 150001 thru 150325.

The last of the line was 154600 that was born in September 1994

Still titled in my name - being kept/ridden by our son-in-law in Iowa. I seem to have found several places to stash bikes. Another K75 resides in Kansas - occasionally ridden by our son.
 
My '88 S is 151561. I still have it.

My wife had two '87 K75S's, but the only VIN I have is 150859.

My spare bike is 1272 Frame tag says July 1987 but chart says June 1987. Maybe it was a long labor.

Cut it out you guys, you're gonna start making me miss my RT.


I seem to have found several places to stash bikes. Another K75 resides in Kansas - occasionally ridden by our son.

My disease has recently progressed to the "stash-a-bike" phase. My Triumph now resides in Utah with my MC mechanic son. A quick $49 plane ride away during the heat of summer.

A 1999 Ducati Monster 900 resides in it's former place in the garage.

My K75RT resides with a new owner in CA, who I hope is enjoying the heck out of it.
 
Well, it's not a S,

I rode my 1988 K-75 to my first day on the job with Ford Motor Company nearly 19 years ago. It is my intension to ride it out my last day (hopefully 11 years from now and not sooner but,....).
The K is yonger then it's stable mate, a 1967 R-50/2, and sees much more road time then it's Grandpa. Still healthy and my first choice.

Does anyone have an '87 K75S (Silver wheels, Engine cover, trans, etc.) with the last 4 #s of the VIN higher than 0957? (build date 4/87)

Or an '88 K75S (Black wheels, engine covers, trans, etc.) with the VIN lower than 0958. (build date 6/87)

I believe that is when they made the change over for the model year for the K75S, but would appreciate any further info.
