New 1987 K75C

I'm getting back on two wheels after a couple of years without a bike. I was on a weekend trip to NoVA to visit a couple of friends, and found what looks to be a pretty good 1987 K75C.



My buddy is going to be storing it for me, and probably wrenching on it a bit, before I'll be able to get it home to Atlanta...

Nice color!

I think it looks a bit better without the chin fairing:

Those k75s are nice.
I wish there were more of them around for sale. I wouldn't mind having one for when I travel alone.

Before the K they had good old twin-shock R80s with leg shields. All were polished to within an inch of their lives. Shares in metal polish manufacturers fell through the floor when they got the Ks.

That's pretty funky how they adapted the RT lower to the tank.
