This 1990 BMW K75C remained with its second owner for approximately 24 years before it was acquired in 2016 by the seller, who has primarily kept it in storage. Power is provided by a liquid-cooled 740cc inline-three mated to a five-speed transmission and an enclosed driveshaft, and the bike is finished in metallic red with gold pinstripes. Equipment includes a Monolever single-sided swingarm, silver-finished alloy wheels, triple disc brakes, and Bosch LE-Jetronic electronic fuel injection as well as a black vinyl stepped two-up seat, BMW hard-sided panniers, and both center and side stands. This K75C shows 11k miles and is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, a service manual, partial service records, and Connecticut registration in the seller’s name.
The bodywork is finished in metallic red with gold pinstripes, and the bike is equipped with a chrome-rimmed headlight, a black vinyl stepped two-up seat, rear grab handles, folding passenger foot pegs, BMW hard-sided panniers, and both center and side stands. Photos provided in the gallery show scratches on the panniers and blemishes on the fuel tank.
Silver-finished 18″ front and 17″ rear alloy wheels are mounted with older Metzeler tires. Suspension consists of a conventional telescopic fork as well as a preload-adjustable monoshock spanning the Monolever single-sided swingarm and the frame. The dual front disc brakes feature perforated rotors, while the single rear disc brake is equipped with a solid rotor.
The handlebar carries a pair of round mirrors and is secured beneath a shroud that houses a keyed ignition switch and an auxiliary power outlet. MotoMeter instrumentation consists of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with an 8,500-rpm redline as well as a digital clock and warning lights. The six-digit odometer shows 11k miles, approximately 100 of which were ridden by the seller.
The liquid-cooled 740cc DOHC inline-three features a longitudinal crankshaft, horizontally reciprocating pistons, and Bosch LE-Jetronic electronic fuel injection for a factory-rated output of 70 horsepower and 50 lb-ft of torque. The battery was replaced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear wheel via a five-speed transmission and an enclosed driveshaft.
A tool kit, a service manual, manufacturer’s literature, and partial service records will accompany the bike.
The motorcycle does not have a title, as it is registered in a state that does not issue titles for a vehicle of its age. It is being sold on its Connecticut registration, which expired in July 2018.
