1973 BMW R-Series

Clear

1973 R75/5 LWB This meticulously maintained classic is a collectors dream and a riders delight.. This example is of the 1973 long wheel base which was the more stable design modification that came in mid 1973. For the Airhead Aficionado this was the big transitional year for the BMW engineering ingenuity.With 35,600 miles she has: New Metzler Lasertech tires (2013 with 500 miles) New 13 rib fork boots New front and rear brakes (500 miles) Rebuilt carburetors. Lined fuel tank Dynatek electronic ignition Professionally polished rims and accents shine like mirrors Compression > 160psi both cylinders.All matching serial numbers. She sat in a collection for many years before I found her and nurtured her. She was very minty when I bought her and I have ridden this bike for the last two seasons and added 6000 miles. That was all she wanted and needed. I can attest to the bike's ride readiness and ride quality. I upgraded and revitalized this beautiful classic Airhead and she runs as she should and looks gorgeous. You will be hard pressed to find one better. Attracts more people than a puppy. There are few minor nicks on frame from use but very clean by any measure. There is a slight indentation on the left side of the fuel tank. There are two small holes on the bottom rear of the right muffler. I will assist with prepping for shipping for the winning buyer. Feel free to ask questions. I will respond promptly. Good luck bidding.On Apr-13-14 at 13:59:28 PDT, seller added the following information: Original Tool kit and air pump included
