1975 BMW R-Series

Clear

You are bidding on a 1975 R75/6 in good condition. I am selling because I no longer ride. This bike has amazed me with how it starts and runs. It was a conversation piece wherever I rode it, esp to cruise nights, etc. It has a few things that would need addressing to put it in top shape, but I rode it enough to trust it to go anywhere. Not mentioned above is that the tach does not work. I had the bearings in the fork replaced by a local shop and on the way home I noticed it was not working. Dont know what is wrong but it spun the needle off of the pin. The windscreen is excellent, although not original, obviously. This model did not come with a kick starter. I bought the bags from a fellow who owned an R90. They have never been mounted. They are pretty tight because I have pressure washed them with only a drop or two of water getting in. I am at least the 3rd owner, but beyond that I do not know the history. The seat appears original and has a crack on the right side front. This could be taped effectively. It may be 40 years old but it is still a looker and with minimal TLC would be outstanding. I tried to give a good rep of the bike in the pics so study them and ask questions. Any rust you see is superficial and has no structural effect. I have a reserve that is very reasonable, certainly less than I see some similar bikes selling for. I have title in hand. I will accept only paypal for payment of the deposit of $500.00 due within 24hrs of bid closing and the balance within 72 hrs. I can store the bike for up to a month if needed. I will assist loading for transport but will not be involved with any shipping arrangements at all.
