The BMW K 75 S featured a half-shell fairing attached to the handlebars designed in a sporty style and was launched together with the K 75 C model in 1985. Apart from the fairing with integrated flashers and a rectangular headlamp unit, this motorcycle was distinguished from the latter by narrower handlebars mounted at a lower level than in the K 75 C, a more tautly tuned sports chassis with shorter spring travel, and a disc brake mounted in the 17 inch rear wheel. These features were intended to emphasise the sporting aspiration of the S Version. In fact, the K 75 S was rather more responsive and precise on winding roads than the "C", which was tuned for comfort.
