Here are a few pic’s of my two K’s.
The silver bike is an 86’ K74S, I’ve it for around five years.
The red bike is my 92’ K1100RS which I’ve owned for a little over a year.
The wife and I have done some good trips on the K75, the first good one was Joburg to Durdan then right down the east coast to George nr Cape Town. Then back home through the centre of SA, the total distance was around 4500km. Another memorable trip was Joburg to Vic Falls via Botswana and Zim.
I decided I needed a little more power and better brakes and looked out for a 90’s 16valve K100. It seems they are very far few between in SA so settled for the K11
The K75 is bog standard except for a Hagon shock. The K11 has a WP shock which is superb, it has some none standard SA made exhaust, and a set of bar-backs. I intended putting the gold wheels and swingarm back to the standard but haven’t got round to it. I also intended to put a standard exhaust on the bike till I learnt about the standard units cracking and this may have been the reason for the mod.
Edit...
Ijust dug the following pic up. It was taken a few days after I bought the K75.
The two classic jap bikes have been passed on. In one way the pic is unique
I wonder who is the first to post what all three bikes have in common !!!
