Can't find much information
on this US only model. It would appear to be a standard K75C modified by
BMW US as follows: It had the double-bucket touring seat
used on the K100RT and LT bikes. It was equipped with a headlight
housing with integral turn signals identical to the 1988 low seat
"standard" models and had the "international" windshield which was
originally used on the K100 standard models in 1985 and 1986 in the U.S. |
