Just a Phaze Im Going Thru | 1986 BMW K75c

same same but different #travel #motovlog #motorcycle #bmw
Shirt design for the 540i rebuild ?
I Always wanted a K bike but people stirred me away from it, or I didn't find one for a good price, or it was just to much of a project.... Got lucky N scored on this one !!
Its seems like I fell in love with this machine, reminds me when I first got into E34s, I keep an eye out for k bikes, I catch my self reading, searching for k bikes, joining groups and now the algorithm is showing me a whole bunch of motorcycle stuff hahaha
I bought it May 30, its coming on a month ownership now and I've put a total of 2800 miles on it so far, today was a fun day cause I convince mother bear to go on a ride with me, memories that'll stick fo life.
anyway stay in touch with your boy cause I might be in your hood and would love to meet ya fam !

I've had my K75s for30 years now and it's a keeper It comes alive after 5,000 rpm

[@kentonseydellaolcp4785]

And they shift easier at 5k and above.

[@Das_Lucifer]

Absolutely love my k75. Bought sight unseen. But you will get back on your feet! Got a follow from me!

[@johnroderkerken]

I have 2... 1x K100 and 1 K100rs... beautiful indestructible motorcycles .... i love the sound and the ride of the K100 and the K75 🤙👍

[@enjoythehunt5135]

Live ya life and enjoy the moments

[@chrisrubin7600]

Bro! Been following for awhile as I have a similar addiction to this era of BMW (E34, E36, E39) - I have a K75S and these bikes are an absolute joy! Quirky as hell but stone reliable and super easy to work on. Turns heads everywhere too! Enjoy it and be safe out there brother

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

I thought that I would throw a little trivia your way seeing as how you're younger than me and might not know this juicy little tidbit about your BMW K75. You didn't mention it so here it is..........pause for dramatic effect, this bike you are riding is known as the Flying Brick. Ta da! The Brick in the nickname is in reference to the shape of the engine and the Flying part is self explanatory. This puppy can fly. For 1986 anyway it was a quick mid-sized bike that was great out on the highway and more than adequate for city riding. You nailed it with how sweet that German engineering is. Those engineers from the Deutschland really know their stuff. It seems like anything that needs some precision engineering combined with the latest in technology you don't need to look no further than those German's. Enjoy your Flying Brick!!

[@StacheCam]

Thanks fam ! Been loving it. I didn’t mention it in this video but my “crash car” video I mention it towards the end. Love the nickname. It really is a brick, heavy bike. I wonder if it was a forged aluminum frame how that would effect weight

[@daveydeboer2542]

Thats great, i have the same one over here in the EU, they get shredded to pieces and made into "cafe racers" but in my experience stock is best. Gear indicator for example, i would fight anyone before giving that up once you get used to it, its a feature a lot of modern bikes dont have today. Also it has been said the aftermarket is worse, it is! the sound doesnt get better, just louder and obnoxious, the whine is there to stay, even with open pipes. Its a K type signature thing because of the way the fuel pump works, its chugs at 100% capacity at all times and recirculates what it doesnt need, just like a car. I think they even used the same literal fuel pump as in some E30 models. Happy K adventures brother!

[@darealkosmo]

love that you're living the bike life again! That thing feels smooooth.

[@dflat3084]

Sound is ok. That bike looks comfy and practical. Right choice for long trips.

[@dayneeastman1316]

Buddy said "don't worry, it won't be a bike channel." I subbed for the bike. Good for you man. The flying brick K is a great bmw bike to get into a phase with, they're reliable as fuck. I have an 02 R1150GS and I love it, rubber down man!

[@tommynikon2283]

Lol...just stumbled on this tonight: I own a '87; SAME paint, etc as yours....+ the saddlebags. The thing just runs!; I have 88,000mi on mine. (68, I've been riding 44); purrs along. Smooth. My ONLY issue is...I'm not a wrencher, and NOBODY works on them where I live. Even the Beemer dealerships won't service them- ANY service (oil changes, tires, etc.) It's ridiculous....because it's still a great bike. One thing I would recommend is: for road trips, use straps around the saddlebags w/ the sliding lock clasps. That prevents a garage sale on the freeway. Another challenge is...tires; unusual sizes....tough to get/match. ps: Your's looks ALOT better than mine!

[@miracleman9467]

Damn man thats cool as hell!! First bike vid i watch ever, and enjoyed it a lot, keep it up stache

[@harrothepilot]

They're a great bike, not overly powerful, but capable of massive miles if given regular servicing. I bought my '93 K75S new, and still have it. As others have said, dont lose the standard exhaust. You can polish the guard and the muffler and they look a bit better than the stainless/black look.

[@groovydutchman7257]

I would’t definately watch a long vid of you going on a bike adventure! I’m an E34 guy but I think this bike content is a nice new chapter on your channel.

[@deth2871]

I remember watching your vids a while back about those E34s, now im onto K bikes as well, ride safe man.

[@Therealabosee]

We bouta go explore the whole world !!!!

[@fanatix2749]

no matter the content bro we still love u. keep doing what u do bro and stay strong.

[@roseluera8093]

YESSIR! 🙌🏽 THIS ONE BAD ASS VIDEO 🔥💯 LOVE IT😍 Mic sounds great!👍🏾

[@seanshepherd6767]

Loving the K bike stuff I have always wanted a BMW bike but low key scared to get a bike. Praying your safe out there homie 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Much love

[@Stompychann]

Take care homie… enjoy the ride!

[@imtiazahmed2147]

calm vibes with this video love it, but definitely would love to see some E34 content too maybe updates on the M5 wud be cool🙂

[@kyleknudsen2131]

Sound quality is great man. I also vote if you want to try out different things with the exhaust buy a spare to cut up just in case you dont like how it turns out youll still have a mint stock one 👍

[@bleebleblahble8833]

Save the OG exhaust for sure

[@curtrn]

Last year I purchased a 1985 K100 RT. I could not be happier. I have been stuck in the 80"s for years. Those Germans truly over engineered those K bikes. They were the last bike bikes built to a standard not a price. The had to update the older air cooled and compete with the Japanese bikes. The out did themselves with the K bike. They last longer than the air cooled as was it's engineering goal. Not uncommon to see these go for 100,000 , 200,000 - 300,000 miles. It's hard to believe so few people own motorcycles in America. I'm 55 when I was a kid ever body's old man owned a bike. Almost nobody owns them nowadays. There so affordable it's just too good of a value for me not to look for a second BMW motorcycle.

[@goldgeologist5320]

I have a 1990 K75RT that I bought in 1990 and a 1994 K75RT. Great bikes if you address the design issues.

[@Jz_Janks]

Thinks sick

[@TESL4T4NK]

Ayyy another k-bike rider in the Carson/LB area! Hopefully I'll see you around; I ride a red K75.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

K75s are the best!! I'm on my third one now. I'm 65, and I've been riding since I was 12, had many, many bikes, and the K75S is my favourite. It's overweight, but it gets better and better the more you ride it. It gets more stable the faster you go. It will do 120 MPH for hours.

[@kentonseydellaolcp4785]

R90S or K1100RS handle bars are lower and quite comfortable on long rides. "K Wine" around 3,000 rpm is a real head turner without being loud or obtrusive. Some people think it has a turbo or is a E bike.

[@xpdw]

Doesnt have to be e34 content ill still watch no matter what.

[@Sethnafritomo]

Take your time.

[@khanyisaningcobo8438]

@5:14 😂 I had to click the like button, this guy is hilarious... I like the bike too

[@bailephib]

Hey Stache, I have a 1985 K100 as my daily driver and I love it. These K bikes are bullet proof. Ryan F9 has a great review on his channel. It’s well worth a watch. Hope you fall in love with the bike. It’s 4 degrees Celsius (37 f?) and I was out riding mine today. Lucky you with the California weather. Enjoy!

[@rmuckluck]

Bike is awesome!

[@jesseNjakob]

sound noise isnt to bad, always enjoyed moto vlogs so keep it up

[@ScrapeMetal]

colour coding this to the 540 and turning it into a cafe racer would go pretty hard

[@carolinacars739]

Nice ride! Hopfully it holds up well for you. Make sure the splines have been lubed on the final drive and clutch/imput shaft. Unfortunately thats a transmission out job... If you have a hard time downshifting at all, do it ASAP! My 85 k100 is currenty layed up with suspected stripped clutch and/or transmission imput shaft splines. Hall effect sensors and ignition coils will usually go on these as well, causing all sorts of running issues!

[@richardwestmoreland4796]

Great post @carolinacars739! Those final drive splines definitely need to be checked on an older bike like this. I don't know what kind of milage he has on his K75 but a bike of that age with this well known issue you are asking for trouble if the final drive splines are not checked. I've also heard of the Hall effect sensors being an issue.

[@JustMoneyish]

Always supporting the channel! Ima buy a shirt!!

[@udalakaiam2267]

Had the K75 for many years. a wonderful bike. only changed oils. fuel filter never changed in 100,000 km nor air filter. It was working like Swiss clock. have maybe the best reliable engine from all bikes. It was build by BMW when the company needed to come with the best bike they could make. BMW invested a lot of money in this series of the K bikes. It is built of the best materials with the quality of BMW in the 80's, which is far better then any of the so called high quality of today. Have fun with K75. Why to change anything in a winning motorbike?

[@Noxfumes66]

1993, K75S best bike I ever had. Regretted selling it. Cruised eastern states , from tip to bottom……

[@2klalodawg12]

Sound good

[@frankivey960]

Be careful changing the exhaust on the K75. Years ago extensive dyno and ride testing was done with aftermarket exhaust. It was found the factory exhaust was finely tuned for the best overall power band . The aftermarkets lowered the midrange torque and changed the overall ride and drive characteristics for the worse. If you want the aftermarket sound and aren't bothered by the power band change, go for it. But definitely keep the stock exhaust to fall back on.

[@Wolvespbc]

The beginning of the end.

[@GuamanianBlood619]

Sick bike fam 🤟🏽 keep us posted man I know your gunna do some mods, but yeah imo please fix the e34 I lost my e38 740il too some idiot driver😢 sad sad days still miss it

[@matthieubaron9733]

just a safety tip fasten your helmet other wise it may slipp off in a crash

[@dwnshftuphll]

Bro! What Jacket is that?!? Looks so clean

[@allisonl]

Daft punk vibes foo 🏍️

[@flacko_ccc]

I have a red K75RT🔥

[@jesus_wasgay]

Don't touch the exhaust, it's stainless steel and pretty unrestricted as is. And it's triangular, one corner for each cylinder ;) Btw, keep it at 3,5-4K rpm.

[@SpicyDay]

I went to through a kind of similiar journey with bmw cars and motorcycles, ive owned e30s, many e39s, e36s etc but i lost my first bmw; the e39 540i/6 when i got into a wreck a few years ago and that i still bothers me. Currently sold off all my projects except an e28 but that just sits now and i ended up getting into motorcycles and dailying a cbr600rr while my car hobby gets put on the back burner in a similiar way to what your feeling. Dunno maybe its just a case of being burnt out from pouring so much time into these cars and nothing else, but take care man hope to see you on the road as a fellow bmw carguy and rider.

[@StacheCam]

Thanks for commenting fam, you hit it right on the nose, to me it just seems like it ain’t worth it. Unless it stays in the garage. Just put all the time and money and then it’s gone, but not that I’m not addicted to it and actually able to see what I like doing other than spending money on these shit boxes, I do see my self getting back into but in a different way, just have fun and enjoy it. Not striving for perfection any more. Just keep them around for now until it’s time. I’m sure you’ll get that e28 back up to enjoy it ! Once I get tired of the bike I’ll have the m5 to play with !

[@SpicyDay]

@@StacheCam Yeah that positive outlook is the way you should be looking at it, just i think im maybe a little more annoyed with my e28 due to being a project i payed to be a clean slate but ended up with hidden problems and cover ups compared to all my other shitbox buys that were honest. Honestly i want to just grab an e34/e39 m5 project too since im too prone on making my stuff immediately never pass smog lol.

[@got2kittys]

Phase? I'd get one tommorow if I could. It's a forever machine. My Beemer is better than the best car I ever had.

[@RZ-cf9nr]

Nice bike, please release the t’s I’ll buy

[@jeffhestand7641]

What kind helmet is that white one!?!?

[@hagestad]

2:24 sure we are. that's the Peugeot 104 motor not bmw in spite of what it says on the cover. Just like new c650 scooters use Kymco motors.

[@chrisjohnson4165]

It might have started out as a Peugeot 104 block, but BMW redesigned the whole thing to be 100% kickass. DOHC, fuel injection, electronic sparks, Nikasil bores, 11:1 compression and 100BHP per litre. They have done 1,000,000 miles, these engines.

[@derell618]

I want a shirt. Take the money and fix the car and put antique tags on it.

[@vinjofin1972]

Buy a good scrambler. You have a caferacer style little adventure. Okay its not a real offroad, but it is not afraid when you take it on a gravelroad. BMW's r nineT scrambler or urbanGS?

[@matthieubaron9733]

and wear cloves

[@WashJosh]

I forgot you were on a gas powered bike it’s so quiet. I thought I was watching a surron video.

[@Mb-bn5jx]

I wanna buy your shirts but I live in Germany :;(

[@Nando.44]

Make sure the t shirts are 100% cotton or I'm not buying 😅 ✌️

[@huskycup]

Don’t ride with the helmet unbuckled!

[@lucassilveiro8056]

you left your helmet unbuckled

[@StacheCam]

My man got a good eye

[@jaimegwarrior7325]

Nice bike, flying brick!!. Please don't ride with your helmet like that !!!!

[@goldgeologist5320]

Strap the helmet on and get gloves!
