BMW K-Series description

Pristine K75 Standard without ABS with only 18654 original miles.  The bike has never been dropped or crashed or whatever you care to call it.  No damage.  The K75 was one of the smoothest and most bulletproof bikes BMW ever built.  They have been known to go hundreds of thousands of miles.  This is one of the finest late model K75s you will find.  Bike is all original with the exception of upgraded Progressive Suspension front and rear, a Reynolds luggage rack with integrated backrest, and a National Cycle windscreen.  No mechanical issues whatsoever, all lights indicators and switches work as new and no oil or fluid leaks or seeps anywhere on the bike. Always garaged and covered and meticulously maintained to BMW maintenance standards.  The bike runs and handles like a dream and I would not hesitate to ride it cross country tomorrow.  Last major maintenance was at 15,500 miles and included all fluids and filters (oil, rear drive, coolant flushed and refilled with BMW blue coolant), fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs, driveshaft splines lubed and some rubber hoses replaced. Tires are in great shape with about 50% tread remaining.  A new Odyssey battery was just installed last month.  The original toolkit is included along with the rider's manual and a Clymer maintenance manual.  There are a few minor cosmetic nicks and scratches that have been touched up and are visible in the pictures.  Bid with confidence as I have tried to describe and show the true excellent condition of this fine motorcycle.  You will not be disappointed.   Selling to free up some room in my garage for other winter projects.  Questions answered at 301 five one four 3150.  Sold AS-IS with no warranty.  Please only bid if you are truly intent on buying the bike.  Seller reserves the right to end the auction early as the bike is also being offered locally.  A $300 deposit thru PAYPAL is due within 48 hours of the end of the auction with the remainder due at pickup.  Buyer is responsible for picking up the bike.  Good Luck!

Kevin Ash, one year on

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected.  Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong.  Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love.   I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder.  The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa.  Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world.  At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour.  He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none.  I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home.  I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way.  Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect!   I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place.  His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall?  How times have changed.  On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.

Melandri has been riding the Husky TC250 in preparation for the 2012 season, whilst the winter testing ban was in effect. Commenting on riding motocross the Italian said: “I ride a lot, almost every week, I like riding with friends, mainly just to have fun.

Ridden: BMW R1200GS Adventure

Fri, 07 Oct 2011

My first meeting with a BMW GS was an unfortunate one. It was going back a few years now (certainly pre-Charlie McGregor era) Having just picked up this new model, I’d ridden 100 miles on a warm summer’s evening to reach my house by dusk. Mindful of the fact that said house contained two frenetic, bark-happy border collies and a small, sleeping child, I cut the ignition, whipped the clutch in and planned a gentle coast up to the area outside my front door.
