The BMW K75 was a standard motorcycle manufactured by BMW Motorrad from 1985 to 1995. The K75 was developed alongside the K100 model but released a year after the K100 as a marketing strategy.

The standard model was the base for several versions, like the K75 T, which was only for the US market and packed a windscreen, touring panniers, engine crash bars, and a top case, the K75 C with a small cockpit fairing mounted on the handlebar, the K75 S with a sports fairing, stiffer suspensions, and a lower and narrower handlebar, and the K75 T with a full touring fairing.

In 1991, the German motorcycle manufacturer launched the BMW K75 S, a motorcycle in its seventh consecutive production year that packed the same specifications as the previous model without any changes.

The bike was built around a steel frame with a telescopic fork on the front that provided 185 mm wheel travel and a left-hand side-mounted shock absorber with 114 mm of travel paired with an aluminum swingarm.

As for the power figures, the 1991 BMW K75 S was set in motion by a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine with a fuel injection system in charge, boasting 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
