I had my c90 done at https://www.nationalemissionstestcentre.com/ I think it was £175 for the test and nothing else was required. I asked about another bike recently and they quoted £150 to sort out the carbs and then the £175 test. They sort it while you wait.
They’re pretty quick to get back if you tell them the details of the bike.A k75 rt is a big lump in traffic, I had a k1100rt and it was a horrible bike - worst bike I’ve ever owned, particularly in traffic so I’m a bit biased ( although I’ve owned three other BMWs which were all great (and all boxers) and a k1100rs at work).
IMHO, riding a lot of the roads in Sw London, it’ll be a terrible commuter, they’re just too bulky. Ok if you’re riding up and down from Bristol though.

£175 is a pure joke. This emissions and LEZ is pure nonsense for bikes.

They are said to benefit from a better rear shock more than most bikes. But I had a K11LT and enjoyed the handling. Chucking it about was hilarious, perhaps in the same way that aerobatics in a 747 might also be hilarious. Get the pegs down and have fun.
@pullingteth How does he know it's not ULEZ compliant? Is it just that he can't get the right certificate of conformity? That doesn't matter, because every bike seems to pass if you take it to the ULEZ testing station. https://uleztesting.co.uk/ Call them and ask whether they have tested a K75.

My nephew passed his test last week and bought a 1992 k75 RT the next day .
He rode it up to London from Bristol yesterday as he starts a new emergency service job Monday , battery packed in , new battery today and it runs so much better but the clutch is so heavy .
He was on the way to a ULEZ compliance fix as it’s non compliant, anyone know what’s involved and an idea of the cost to make it compliant ?
I’m not convinced it’s worth it
