The K75s is one of the sporty version of the BMW triple "the flying brick". The engine has a characteristic high pitched whine at idle known as "K bike whine". The engine is smooth as butter and plenty of power throughout the range regardless any RPM. The power curve is amazing flat and consistent and is hardly any engine vibration. It has good amount of torque at lower RPMs and plenty of power up at the high RPMs as well. BMW really did a great job on this bike.
