1995 BMW K 75 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around BMW's naked motorcycle platform, the 1995 BMW K 75 features a 740 cc (45.2 cu in) in-line three, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 75 HP (54.7 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 66.7 Nm (49.2 lb-ft) at 6,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 101.4 HP per liter and a 1,750 rpm working window between peak torque (6,750 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the K 75 measures 227 kg (500 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.03 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 760 mm (29.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops.
