Hello all!! Love these forums for a great source of info, advice, mods, and work-arounds! Nobody in our BMW club (www.BMWONS.ca) has an RS so I look to forums!

About me: My '16 RS in Lupine Blue is my 4th and favourite BMW and my first venture to 'The Dark Side'....it's my first Boxer . 'Redrider' came from a friend who saw me on my 1st BMW, an '88 red K75S. I loved the 'S' so much I bought a '94 K75S in Dakar Yellow (SpongeBob-who is still with me). Being vertically challenged and compounded by a nagging back injury meant a downsize to my '10 F650GS. After 40K miles of it shaking me to pieces at high highway speeds it was joined in '17 by the RS....and I now love, LOVE the so-called 'dark side'!!

All the smoothness of your K75's plus 2x the horsepower and modern suspension.
I think you'll be a happy hockey fan.

Welcome to the site Red.
The yellow K75S was rare, I only remember seeing a couple in that color.
