K75 clutch shouldn't be too heavy, change the cable would be a good start, £30 and an hour of faff and should be golden.
RT to commute through London on though ? Too bulky for me, it did for my 1150GS, I'd lose the fairing and panniers and stuff and ride it naked.
Lovely engine that though, smooth and sweet.

I made my GS Londonable by getting the handlebars narrowed.
The RT/ LT fairing is Londonable, it's not that wide, and the mirrors are higher than most car mirrors. Remove the panniers and you can do the filter slalom very nicely.
My K11RS is harder to filter than the RT/LT because the enormous mirrors are at car mirror height. I thought about removing them and having a rear facing camera and a display on top of the instruments. But apparently this wouldn't work. Manufacturers have tried and failed. I can't remember what the issue is.

Totally agree about the choice for a good filtering bike .
I have a photographer mate that’s ridden an 1200gs for years and filters quicker than a deliveroo but the issue really is , he passed his test this week , it’s not a great bike to culture confidence in London traffic .
Clutch is like a gym workout …
For his current commute in winter and rush hour , a Brompton and tube is quicker

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
