Segment: Naked / Road
Production years: 1988, 1989
The BMW K75 S was a naked motorcycle manufactured by the German Company in 1985. It was derived from the standard K75 model but fitted with a sports fairing and a rectangular headlight.
In 1988, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW K75 S, a machine built for over four years alongside other models derived from the base model with slight visual and technical differences.
The 1988 S model came in the same shape and form as the previous one, packing the same technical, visual, and performance specifications without any significant changes whatsoever.
The bike packed standard fittings in the aesthetic department, such as three-spoke lightweight aluminum alloy wheels, a three-into-one exhaust system, a two-up seat with passenger grab handles, a sports fairing with a square headlight, and a medium-sized windscreen.
The 1988 BMW K75 S had heartbeat set by a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine mounted underneath its fuel tank, delivering an output power of 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,570 rpm.
The power generated by the engine was transmitted to a five-speed transmission with a manual dry single-plate clutch that sent it to the rear end via a final shaft drive, pushing the machine to a top speed of 210 kph (131 mph).
