Post a Photo of your K-bike

That is probably the most beautiful K75S I've ever seen. You just can't beat black for starters, and then adding the smoked windshield. The rest of the bike is already a sculpture. Yeah, it's a keeper for sure.

Thank you! After I got it rideable and realized how much fun it was I debated doing more cosmetic restoration but I enjoy riding it too much. I missed the boat back in the day, the Marikessh Red with black wheels always appealed to me but I was a younger man and not out of Japanese sport bikes yet. I get it now, lol

I have a blue 1992 K75S which I love and people cross parking lots to comment on, but black has always been special to me. Enjoy trying to wear it out.

They do start conversations don’t they? Ride on!

Yes, they do.

Yes, they do.

Beautiful! That’s pristine!

Thanks! It's been ridden with about 65+ on the clock, so there are some marks if you get close enough, but for an unrestored original paint bike it's presentable. Besides, when I'm passing someone fast enough they really can't see the defects.

Now why would anyone think a K75S is a good looking bike? (Me and my buds at Salem ‘13)

Really, I do wonder.

I have not appreciated the styling of the "wedge" K-bikes overall, but this one is spectacular. You just can't go wrong with black, and this bike looks so fast sitting still that I think you will get a ticket for Conspiracy To Speed.

I'm the 4th owner of this 51,000 K1200RS 2003 model, build date October 2002.
I bought it in September 2022 and thought I'd "give it a good cleaning" haha ha!
It was late August of 2023 by the time I was finished "cleaning".
When I took ownership it had (literally) tons of aftermarket parts including seat and windscreen and a full 3 piece luggage set.
Now it has been reverted to factory stock, no accessories, as it would have been when purchased new, using all BMW parts except for a set of NGK ignition wires from Enduralast, a Hyperpro RSC steering damper, Dunlopad front/rear brake pads and all the Teflon/Stainless brake lines it already had installed when I purchased it.
Even the EPM Performance front/rear shocks were built up from a pair of very low milage original BMW Showa shocks that were "take offs" when someone upgraded to Ohlins.
I'm not a long distance rider and this is a very fun and comfortable ride for me.

Nicely done! I have a 2003 K12RS in black bought new. They are amazing bikes and if any motorcycle could turn you into an LD rider, this is the one. Just watch it, because these bikes just are not happy until they are going at least 100mph. Ask me know I know.

I'm the 4th owner of this 51,000 mile 2003 K1200RS (build date October 2002) originally sold new in Kansas City Missouri.

It was heavily "aftermarketed" and I removed and disposed of windscreen, seat, rear rack, rear bag, saddle bags, power points, sidestand foot, bar risers, etc, etc, etc. and returned it to showroom stock condition (the bike lost a lot of weight in this process) with all BMW parts and BMW factory fasteners except for the ignition leads and spark plug caps (NGK from Enduralast) and Phillips High Intensity White headlamp bulbs and a Hyperpro RSC type steering damper and Dunlopad brake pads. I have the original seat in perfect condition and the seat pictured here is a BMW factory seat base with new triple density foam and cover from a custom seat shop.

It's riding on Metzler Roadtecs 01 SE's with the "narrow" 170/60 size rear (this bike has the 5.5" rear wheel that allows fitting a 180 rear tire if desired) and a pair of factory BMW shocks with only 10,000 miles on them that I had EPM re-build.

I did a lot of basic maintenance and heavy cosmetic cleaning along with some powder coating and painting and replacement of rubber parts.
All the various fluids are fresh and everything functions at 100%, no outstanding issues at all.
It's completly "fluid tight" and has never leaked a drop of anything.

Looks good K547.

That's a great job K547 that previous owner (that I know very well from the mirror) likely had no clue how to do that
