In 1991, the German bike maker released the BMW K75 RT, a more touring-oriented version of the base K75 model with a touring fairing and a large windscreen. Over its production period, the maker produced over 21,200 units.

The 1991 motorcycle came in the same shape and form as the previous model, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant modifications whatsoever.

The motorcycle's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as a full touring fairing with a rectangular headlight, a large touring windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with pillion grab handles, eight-spoke aluminum alloy wheels, and a three-into-one exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the left-hand side.

The bike was built around a steel frame that housed a telescopic fork with 185 mm of travel on the front end, guiding the front wheel equipped with two 285 mm brake discs and dual-piston calipers. The rear wheel was handled by a side-mounted shock absorber with 114 mm of travel, an aluminum swingarm, and a 285 mm brake disc with a single-piston caliper.

As for the power figures, the bike delivered 75 hp with a peak force at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm, coming from a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system.
