The Black K75RT
by Ted Verrill

I bought my 1994 K75RT on December 2, 2009. I had looked at over 50 bikes over a 4 year period before picking this bike. The bike is in impeccible condition and has 50,011 miles on the clock. I bought it from a good friend and it came a thick stack of receipts from the truly meticulous maintenance.

The bike is completely stock and has ABS brakes and options including BMW Sytem II side and top hard cases, heated grips, electrically adjustable windscreen, and the BMW comfort seat. The bike additionally came with an almost new Multivario tankbag complete with rain liner and center section.

Upcoming plans for upgrades include the Run-N-Lites K-Tail enhancement, an add-on rear brake LED Light Bar, fork-mounted driving lights, an Aeroflow headlight cover, and a few other things I will probably come across and find I need.
