BMW K75 S (1987-1988) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 1987, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K75 S, basically a base K75 model fitted with a sporty fairing. It was in its third consecutive production year and came with the same package as the previous model.

The BMW K75 was a naked motorcycle introduced by the German motorcycle maker in 1985. It was powered by a three-cylinder engine with a balancer shaft and a final shaft drive.

The base model was manufactured until 1995 and was marketed in several variants, like the US-only naked K75 T, the bikini-fired K75 C, the sport-faired K75 S, the naked base model K75, and the fully-faired K75 RT.

The 1987 K75 S model came in the same shape and form as the previous one, packing the same technical, performance, and visual specifications without any significant modifications.

In the aesthetic department, the motorcycle was fitted with standard features, like a sports fairing with a square headlight, a medium-sized windscreen, a two-up seat with passenger grab rails, a single muffler mounted on the left-hand side, and eight-spoke aluminum alloy wheels.

The 1987 BMW K75 S had its soul brought to life by a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, boasting 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,570 rpm.
