One year after the introduction of the K 75 Series with the BMW K 75 C, BMW launched the K 75 on the market. The most striking features of the K 75 Basic were the newly designed front profile with freestanding indicators, round headlamps and instrument cockpit. The comparatively unorthodox front profile of the bigger K 100 Basic had previously been subject to a lot of criticism. The detailed work on the visual appearance paid off. Many enthusiasts believed that the K 75 Basic, powered by the three-cylinder engine with its somewhat less forceful impact, and featuring the classic naked-bike profile proved to be the most successful K Model with exceptionally agile performance.
