1991 BMW K 75 S review from United States of America
"An extremely versatile and reliable motorcycle... will never part with it!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Front brake disc warpage.
General comments?
I purchased the motorcycle new when I returned from Desert Storm.
I have taken it back and forth to the US and Germany, and have driven on both continents.
I have taken short day trips, long trips (Scotland, Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc), and used it as a primary daily commuter.
I have purchased over the years a Parabellum windshield, all BMW hard and soft baggage, and heated grips, and recommend all those options.
