Choppy shifts do not do justice to the K-75's linear-style power delivery...especially in a video. Best to wind out 3rd-4th-5th gears keeping rpm between 4000rpm close to redline when traffic and road conditions ( hwy's ) allow. Winding this motorcycle out will not harm it, rather it's built to run those revs all day, every day, week, month, year. I speak from experience, having owned and ridden two of them. Best model BMW ever built, smooth as owl hooti at any speed. You don't have to drive it hard, you can shift it into 5th gear at 45-50 and bring the cows in.
Yes we have one it is heavy on average it’s weight is about 190 kg but for a begginers bike you can’t ride one because you have to have a few years experience to ride one it’s is more for cruising rather than long touring
@@benHonda400_4 I disagree...My first bike....I had a 1975 400F from 1978 to 2010. I have toured all over the eastern USA. Tank bag, soft saddlebags and a duffle over the rear seat. Friction lock cruise control to give your right arm a little rest now and then. Kerker 4 into 1, K&N individual pods and up the main jet on the carbs to an 85. Don't touch the position of the needle into the jet, fattening up the midrange by raising the needle will make it run too rich and it will blubber and choke. Gas mileage went up and the induction sound through the K&N's was a lovely deep burble.
Not that heavy and favours progressive riding ,not hanging about but compared to modern bikes a little slow but all in all sweet machine for it's time superb .maintainence is key..oil costs less than engines .filters check cam chain tensioners great investment ,if it wasn't any good it wouldn't be around still would it
I love, love 400 Fours. But I advise folks looking for a classic Honda four to get either a 500 or 550 four: handles almost as well as a 400F. But with a big bore kit for a 500 or 550 you get most of the performance of a 750 Fours - but much less weight.
Beautiful bike. I love that color. I'd love a K75RT, but I rode one once and it just felt like it needed a 6th gear. Not sure if I could stand the high revs at highway speed. The owner said "you get used to it".
IV owned a few K series BMW IV ridden them everywhere including round Australia I cut the fork gaiters off in very hot weather just in case the fuel didn't boil and the wheels on some the silver mag's can bend leaving a bent front rim try and get the latest black mag's models apart from that no issues whatsoever I'd buy another K75S tomorrow if 1 became available
Mooie fiets. Zo'n K75RT heb ik ook gehad, ook in die kleur. Ik heb er een verhoogde ruit op gezet, omdat ik hem, ook in de winter, voor mijn werk nodig had. Later ingeruild voor een R1100RT. Nu rij ik een R1200RT. Jammer dat ze met de productie van de R75RT (eventueel in een gemoderniseerd jasje) zijn gestopt. Ik heb het altijd een fijne fiets gevonden...
J'ai bien envie de m'en acheter une mais j'ai quand même l'impression que ça n'avance pas. Je suis pas spécialement amateur de vitesse mais une bonne accélération c'est sympa quand même. En tout cas, vidéo sympa! :)
1500 € neuve en 1976

😅great bike
Lovely bike I prefer the yellow colour scheme but even so in real life the sound is sweeter overall: love the bike bro
Would this be a good bike for a complete beginner? Is it very heavy?

Nice ! Here's mine, in winter... ruclips.net/video/SZ9UviA18Tw/видео.html Happy new Year !
Trés bonne moto, et en superbe état !! J'ai changé mon XJR1300 pour ce modèle, incomparables en tous points, mais quel plaisir de conduite en BMW !
ive got one. he rode this lioke a big girl. they go like fuk. give it the full beans man. they redline at 10k
Had one of these, rode it from AZ to TX and then up to Colorado and back. Only issue? Keeping the clutch cable tensioned properly!!!
Beautiful bike for outdoor beach cruiser when the weather is like that!

Хорош конь!

Ik krijg nog steeds nostalgische gevoelens als ik dit hoor en zie...

Poor enough pilot
Looks and sounds nice
Oh man, such a lovely bike. I'm really considering getting one. Where in France is this road? It's wonderful.
We have one and oh man I love it if you can get one then I’d go for the chance
ds ce cas prend une 500 four ou 750 sa une meilleur accel et une jolie sonorite
