Is there a question in there somewhere?
But you could have some serious adventure on that. Reliable engine, relatively easy maintenance. Possibly questionable off-road/unsealed road capability, but does have decent ground clearance. Comfortable for long distances.

Hey Floyd, did you mean to post your for sale Vid here?
Maybe better to post it up on the For Sale forum?
I've ridden K75's several times (back in the day) ... like 20 plus years ago? Good basic motor, bit vibey, heavy!, poor handling if pushed on technical roads at a decent pace. But comfy and pretty reliable.
Today, K75's here in USA are a cheap date. You can pick up a nice clean one for maybe $600 to $800 USD if you're patient. Your bike looks NICE!
Good luck selling!

Sorry all, i put the wrong link on , That BMW is for sale locally to me . It looks like a shed but sounds ok.
Amended now guys
Reliabiliy and spares would be the biggest issue. They are getting better though.
I think it looks good though, if nothing else

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
