BMW K75 RT (1994-1995) Specs, Performance & Photos

The BMW K75 was a standard naked machine produced 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.

In 1994, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K75 RT, a touring machine with a touring fairing, in its ninth consecutive production year, featuring the same specifications as previous models without any changes.

The motorcycle's visual department was characterized by standard features, such as 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.

It was built around a steel frame with a telescopic fork handling the front suspension and an aluminum swingarm with a single side-mounted shock absorber controlling the rear suspension.

The braking performance was achieved by three 285 mm brake discs, two on the front and one on the rear. The ones from the front were squeezed by dual-piston calipers, while the rear one was handled by a one-piston caliper.

As for the power figures, the 1994 BMW K75 RT's 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine delivered an output power of 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
