The sporty is more top heavy with less power. If you can flat foot it, you won't have any problems making the change. Like Gail said, have the splines checked, if they are good and the price is right, go for it. You can always remove the fairing if you don't like it. The ergonomics on the K75 are the best feature of the bike. I find them to be as close to perfect as any bike I've ever ridden.<BR/><BR/>Speed safe :)Mongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882364901758404410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8902274795054049609.post-74510651902831704472008-08-10T23:23:00.000-05:002008-08-10T23:23:00.000-05:00If you're considering a K75, I agree on getting th...If you're considering a K75, I agree on getting the splines checked and reviewing the service history. A well maintained bike is worth a premium. The height is adjustable using a "short-shock" and moving to a lower spot on the triple-clamp. That's how mine was set-up when I bought it (no longer). Easy fix and will adjust maybe 1" to 2". <BR/><BR/>Disagree on the K1 fairing. It might be an indicator of having an obsessive previous owner, which can be a good thing. If the bike otherwise checks out, the fairing difference is simply cosmetic. <BR/><BR/>You might want to check out the yahoo group on K-bikes. It's very active and a wealth of knowledge, but be sure to introduce yourself before asking questions. The list owner can get a little fiesty. Check the archives first. <BR/><BR/>As for rideability, each to their own. The good news is that although the K75 is a heavier bike, it's generally benign. It's power is adequate but you're unlikely to accidentally dial in too much throttle. I would suggest something much smaller/lighter for your first bike though.Osmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510751654484933836noreply@blogger.com
