Faults:

The only thing I ever had to do to this bike in the four years that I owned it was change the tires, and did not have to do that much. I always ran Metzler touring tires on it.

General Comments:

Excellent bike. Started first time, every time. Handled well, light weight. Bike also had a fairly low seat height. I would highly recommend this bike to anyone.

The only negative would have to be the way it handled in a severe side wind, but a lot of corrective leaning sorted that out too.

Great bike for beginners and experienced riders, and also good (in my opinion) for women looking to do some long distance touring.

Faults:

Always started first time and nothing went wrong in the year I owned it.

General Comments:

My K75RT was my return to motorcycling riding after a 12 year absence.

It is a big machine with an imposing road presence.

The riding position is very sit up and beg, but great protection from the weather is given by the enormous fairing.

At 6'3" tall, I found it a little cramped for leg room, but OK. I bought the tall screen for it, which pushed any wind blast over my head.

It excels at motorway cruising up to 90mph, where it begins to run out of energy.

The brakes a very powerful with good feel and confidence inspiring ABS.

A heavy machine (285kg). Everything is light and easy to use once on the move, but if you drop it, it'll take two people to pick it up.

I serviced it myself (easy and cheap) and sold it one year later for the same amount I paid for it.
