I HAVE ADDED MORE PICTURES OF THIS 1972 BMW R60. COMES WITH A OPEN, CLEAN AND CLEAR MASSACHUSETTS TITLE. THE BIKE HAD 33K MILES IN 2001. IT WAS RIDDEN UNTIL 2006, CURRENT MILAGE IS 35K MILES. IN 2005, NEW TIRES WERE PUT ON THE BIKE. THEY ARE MATCHING METZLERS. THIS BIKE HAS NOT BEEN RIDDEN SINCE 2006. SHE KICKS OVER FINE WITH THE KICKER. CLUTCH PULL IS NICE AND EASY. THE THROTTLE CABLE IS NOT WORKING, THE THROTTLE DOES NOT MOVE, SO YOU WILL NEED A NEW THROTTLE CABLE. THE PETCOCKS SHOULD BE CLEANED OUT. THERE ARE IN LINE FUEL FILTERS, SO THATS GOOD NEWS. THE BIKE NEEDS A BATTERY. THE BIKE NEEDS A BMW ENTHUSIAST TO TAKE OVER. THIS BIKE IS IN GREAT OVERALL CONDITION. THE SEAT PAN AND SEAT ARE BAD AND DO THE BIKE NO JUSTICE. REPLACE THAT ITEM AND ITLL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. I DO HAVE THE SADDLE BAG RACK, I REMOVED IT, I DO NOT HAVE THE BAGS, SO OFF IT CAME FOR THAT CLEANER LOOK. SELL THE RACK AND LOOK FOR A SEAT. THIS BIKE IS CLEAN. THE SPEEDO AND TACH NEEDLE SUCCUMED TO THE UV RAYS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ORIGINAL CONTROLS ARE ALL IN NICE CONDITION. THIS BIKE IS A TRUE SURVIVOR "TOASTER". IF YOU EVER WANTED A "TOASTER" MODEL, WELL HERE IS ONE THAT IS GOING HOME TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER. NO RESERVE AUCTION HERE! FYI, THIS GEM HAS A HIGHER N.A.D.A. THEN THE R50 AND THE R75, FOR SEVERAL YRS. THE R60, IS THE HIGHEST VALUED ONE. I DID NOT MAKE THAT UP, PLS CHECK FOR YOURSELF. GO AHEAD, TREAT YOURSELF. THANK YOU.

THE THROTTLE CABLES ARE NOT STUCK! ONE SLIDE WAS, SO IT WAS FREED. BOTH CARBURATOR TOPS WERE REMOVED TO EXPOSE THE SLIDES. THE CARB SLIDES AND TUBES WERE CLEANED. THE THROTTLE CABLES WERE TAKEN OFF THE THROTTLE HOUSING AND OILED UP. THE THROTTLE WORKS AND HAS NICE "THROTTLE SNAP ACTION" I HAVE ALSO REMOVED THE CARBURATOR BOWLS AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE FLOATS. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT THIS BIKE WAS STORED WITH NO FUEL IN THE CARBS. THE BIKE WAS RUN DRY. PLS, SCRUTINIZE THE NEW CARBURTOR PICTURES, SHOWING A VERY CLEAN FUEL BOWL AND VERY CLEAN FLOATS AND INTERNALS. THE SLIDE AREA IS CLEAN ALSO. SO, GREAT THROTTLE SNAP ON THIS 1972 R60/5. THAT IS FIXED. PETCOCKS-CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!!!!!!!! GREAT FUEL FLOW, ON RESERVE AND THE ON POSITION. SO, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLEAN THE PETCOCKS. SO, THIS BIKE NOW HAS A CLEAN GAS TANK, CLEAN PETCOCKS, AND GREAT THROTTLE SNAP-FREE MOVING CARBS-CLEAN CARBS. I HOPE TO HAVE THIS BIKE RUNNING PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION. AT THE VERY LEAST, YOU KNOW NOW, THAT IT ONLY NEEDS VERY MINOR TLC TO RUN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLEAN THE GAS TANK. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CLEAN BOTH PETCOCKS. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE CABLES, IT WAS A STUCK SLIDE. I WILL BE PUTTING THE TANK BACK ON THE BIKE. I WILL UPDATE THE AUCTION. F.Y.I THIS VINTAGE BMW R60 WAS BORN ON 11-13-1971, SEE THE BIRTHDAY OF THIS MACHINE STAMPED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK!!! BORN NOVEMBER 13TH, 1971!! THIS BIKE IS GOING HOME TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, DONT LOOSE OUT! GO AHEAD, TREAT YOURSELF. THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE QUESTIONS. On Aug-06-11 at 10:39:17 PDT, seller added the following information: ***************************************UPDATE 08-06-2011*************************************** THE AUCTION ENDS IN ONE DAY. THE BATTERY IN THE BIKE IS OLD. I HAVE TRIED TO CHARGE THE BATTERY, TO NO AVAIL! THE BIKE TURNS OVER SEVERAL TIMES, THEN, CLICK, CLICK. THE BATTERY IS DEAD, IT WONT TAKE A CHARGE. I WONT BE ABLE TO TRY TO FIRE HER UP, I WILL LEAVE THAT TO THE NEW OWNER. THE GAS TANK WAS ACID CLEANED OUT TWICE. IT IS CLEAN, AND HAS CLEAN FLOW THROUGH BOTH PETCOCKS. I RAN TWO TANKS OF GAS THRU THE PETCOCKS, THE FLOW WAS AS EXPECTED. THE INSIDE OF THE TANK IS NOT NEW. IT IS CLEANED OUT. NO FLOATING OR LOOSE MATERIAL. CLEAN GAS COMING OUT. A TANK "SEALER" MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA. OR JUST USE AS IT IS. THE PETCOCKS, WERE CLEANED. FLOW IS GREAT. THE LITTLE STACKS ARE DETERORATED. THEY ARE NOT REALLY ESSENTIAL, IF THE TANK IS CLEAN. THEY ALLOW, THE RESIDUE TO COLLECT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK, INSTEAD OF BEING DRAWN INTO THE PETCOCK. YOU CAN USE STRAWS ACTUALLY TO REMEDY THIS. THIS BIKE IS A NICE SURVIVOR VINTAGE R60. THE BIKE IS NOW NEW. SHE IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF A TOASTER BIKE. SHE HAS SOME BUMPS AND BRUISES, BUT ALL IN ALL, SHE IS NICE. THIS BIKE IS A RARE MACHINE. THIS BIKE SHOULD BE IN YOUR GARAGE! I STAND BEHIND WHAT I SELL. I WANT A HAPPY AND INFORMED BUYER. I DESCRIBE THE BIKE AS BEST I CAN. THE BIKE NEEDS SOMEONE TO GIVE HER A LITTLE TLC. THE BIKE HAS GREAT THROTTLE RETURN NOW. THE BIKE HAS SUPER CLEAN CARBURATORS. CLEANED OUT GAS TANK AND PETCOCKS. GREAT COMPRESSION, BY THE KICKER! ORIGINAL KEY, ORIGINAL AIR PUMP. THANK YOU TO ALL. I AM HERE AFTER THE SALE! I AM VERY INTERESTED IN YOUR PROGRESS. BID TO WIN, OR YOU WILL LOOSE OUT ON A GREAT VINTAGE BMW.
