The BMW K75 RT was a more touring-oriented version of the base K75 model. The K75 RT debuted in 1985 and was manufactured until 1995 alongside other versions, like the K75 T (US only), K75 C, and K75 S.

The K75 S and K75 RT versions were the only ones in the family that packed a rear brake disc and 17-inch rear wheels, unlike the other versions that were equipped with a single leading shoe drum unit and 18-inch rear wheels.

In 1993, the German motorcycle manufacturer from the House on Munich released the BMW K75 RT, a touring-oriented machine fitted with full touring fairing. In addition, some taller riders complained about wind blowing into their face, so the maker installed an adjustable windscreen on later models.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle had standard fittings, like a full fairing with a square headlight, a tall windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, side-mounted saddlebags, a three-into-one exhaust system with a muffler mounted on the left-hand side, and eight-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

In the performance department, the 1993 BMW K75 RT took its muscles from a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine controlled by a fuel injection system, boasting 75 hp with a peak force at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
