The BMW K75 was a naked bike manufactured by BMW starting in 1985. The motorcycle was powered by a three-cylinder engine with a balancer shaft and a final shaft drive. The motorcycle was produced until 1995 and was available in several versions, 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.
In 1985, the German motorcycle maker released the BMW K75 T, a naked motorcycle made only for the United States riders. Compared to the base model, the K75 T featured additional hard, lockable panniers, a two-up touring seat, and a large windscreen for better protection.
In any other departments, the T version was identical to the standard model, packing the same technical and performance specifications without any modifications whatsoever.
The bike was produced around a steel frame that housed the suspension system, comprised of a telescopic fork on the front with 185 mm wheel travel, a right-hand side-mounted shock absorber with 114 mm of travel, and an aluminum swingarm.
In the performance department, the 1985 BMW K75 T took its muscles from a 740cc four-stroke liquid-cooled three-cylinder engine managed by an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system, boasting 75 hp at 8,500 rpm and 68 Nm (50 lb-ft) torque at 6,750 rpm.
