BMW K75 C (1986-1987) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1986, the German motorcycle manufacturer released the BMW K75 C, a motorcycle in its second production year. Compared to the base model, the C version packed a bikini fairing, a nose fairing, and optional side-mounted panniers.

The 1986 machine was delivered with the same package as the previous model, featuring the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

As for the visual department, the motorcycle had standard fittings, such as a nose fairing with a round headlight, a small windscreen, a radiator fairing, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab rails, a three-into-one exhausts system with a single silencer mounted on the left-hand side, and eight-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

The 1986 BMW K75 C took its power from a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system feeding the pistons, delivering an output power of 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,570 rpm.

The energy generated by the 740cc engine was redirected to a five-speed transmission, which sent it to the rear wheel via a final shaft drive. The 1986 K75 C model reached a top speed of 196 kph (122 mph).

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with three 285 mm discs, two on the front and one on the rear. In addition, the BMW K75 C was made in over 9,000 units over its production period.
