BMW K75 RT (1992-1993) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW K75 was a standard motorcycle manufactured by BMW from 1985 to 1995. It was developed alongside the K100 model but released a year later as a marketing strategy. In addition, the K75 model had the same bore and stroke as the K100, generating a displacement of 740cc.

It was available in several versions, like the base K75 without fairings, the K75 T made only for the US market with touring saddlebags, engine crash bars, a rear top case, and a windscreen, the K75 C with a small cockpit mounted on the handlebar, the K75 S with a sports fairing, stiffer suspensions, and a lower, narrower handlebar, and the K75 T with a full touring fairing.

In 1992, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW K75 RT, a touring machine with a touring fairing, in its eighth consecutive production year. The 1992 model packed the same specifications as previous models without any changes.

The 1992 BMW K75 RT was powered by a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, delivering 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.

In the braking department, the motorcycle's eight-spoke aluminum alloy wheels were fitted with three 285 mm brake discs, two on the front and one on the rear. The ones from the front were engaged by dual-piston calipers, while the rear one was handled by a one-piston caliper.
