1986 BMW K75C, Are you a fan of the three-cylinder, small brick design that was the K75 series? Then this machine might just be of special interest. We set this one aside in the hopes of getting to it ourselves over the winter and turning it into a very nice, every day dependable and road worthy traveler and well, time just got away from us. Again. We were busy all through the colder months. That???s our excuse and we???re sticking with it. So now someone out there who is interested in what we think is an easy PROJECT BIKE (read the details on PROJECT BIKE transactions please) with a great amount of sweat equity to be gained when completed has an opportunity.One of the reasons we wanted to do this one ourselves was that we constantly have an unfulfilled demand for stock K75 models; regardless of which one although the standards are the 3 to 1 favorite. They are just in very short supply. Even more so if you are looking for a clean, low mileage example. This one has only had just one owner since new and we got all service records to refer to from early 1987 when it had the break-in service performed until the summer of 1999 when it was last serviced at a dealership. It was not the selling shop as they???d closed their doors but it was still a BMW shop.In addition to the beautiful or ugly Pichler fairing (we all see this differently) you see in the main intro photo it came to us with all the stock components that could be re-installed to make it look just like it sat on the sales floor at Slegers Cycle in Wharton, NJ back in 1986 when it was new. Next year when it hits true classic status you can even run historic tags on it in most states as it will be 25 years of age ??? how cool is that? So whether you are in love with the Pichler fairing or not, which by the way was a state of the art touring fairing for the K75 and K100 series in its day, there is a great opportunity here to refurbish and refresh this machine with or without that accessory. Take it off and sell it or if you prefer hang it in the garage until the next winter arrives and put it back on and stay a little more comfortable in the colder months. Maybe someone wants one enough to offset a chunk of what it will cost you to do what???s needed
