This is a Very Collectible, Numbers Matching, 1976 BMW R75/6 that I bought with the intention of restoring. An injury is going to prohibit that from happening anytime soon so on the block it goes. I will describe the bike here to the best of my ability. I'm a BMW guy myself and have been riding these bikes for 40 years. I bought the bike in the exact condition as shown. The bike had been sitting for 30 years having been owned by yet another Airhead guy. He died and the bike was, yes, you guessed it, in a barn... The engine turns over freely. The frame, forks, and swingarm do not appear to have ever been damaged or bent. The front and rear wheels appear to be in good to very good shape. The 5 speed appears to have been removed to do a rear seal job. It is in good shape with excellent splines. Front fender, tank, and rear fender are all in good shape however they would need to be painted for a show rider condition. Both battery side covers are there. The tank has the original red liner mostly intact without any damage to mention, it could use emblems for sure and it never hurts to reline them. Seat is there and is in really good shape. The tach, speedo, and guages are present and complete. The speedo shows 40k miles. The bike was only in use from 1975-1985 being last registered in 85' and parked. The owner had several BMW's so I would assume the mileage is original. Tool tray is there, The original Bing's are also there. All the wiring along with the handlebar switches, electronics, coils, diodes, and relays are all there and appear in good shape. The headlight assembly along with all wiring, ignition, etc, is all there and in good shape. The headlight will need a lense. The silencers are condition unknown. The bike will inevitably be missing some nuts and bolts, etc. All the expensive and hard to find stuff is there. The tank, engine and transmission are worth the asking price themselves. These bikes are fast becoming scarce. A reasonably clean r75/6 with low miles is commanding in excess of $6k and rising. This is a project. It would be unreasonable to expect to buy it to drop off at the dealer for a makeover. This is best for another Airhead guy or gal or someone with the itch. With some sweat equity I feel the bike could be put back on the road very reasonably. Many feel this is the best aircooled motorcycle BMW ever made. It's not a bad choice for a full restoration project. Title - The bike will be sold on a State of Georgia Notarized Bill of Sale. I am a Georgia Resident and we don't have titles for bikes this old in our state. I have sold other bikes from here to as far as California without issue however please do take this into consideration. Thanks Full payment within 24 hours of auction end. The bike can be picked up in greater Toledo Ohio area on the 4-6 of April or anytime between the 15th-30th of April unless prior arrangements are made. No shipping, the bike must be picked up and shipped at the buyer's expense.
