Here's are some photos of my 1995 BMW K 75S. It came to live at my house in 2001 after my first bike trip to Alaska on my 2000 Kawasaki Concours. The 2000 was my second Concours as I had a 1986 that I rode 186,000 miles. The Alaska trip made we think I needed to get a smaller bike for the kind of riding I enjoy now days.

I used to like high speed back road blitzing for 500-700 mile days across America. Now days I prefer a slower pace incorporating a fair degree of wandering around and including excursions onto gravel roads and back byways. I'm also not as strong as I was 20 years ago and the size of the bike needs to reflect the reality that I don't want to try to move a 600 lb. bike around the parking lot.
