It was owned for many years by a gentleman in Vermont. I am selling my classic and very well maintained 1971 R75/5. This is a beautiful machine in one of the nicest colors ever made by BMW. She just went through a revision with one of the best BMWs mechanics in Florida. Got carbs adjusted, new clutch oil, new battery. Selling as I am potentially moving abroad. The motorcycle is in great shape. Turns on very easily. Got an antique plate recently and is a very fun drive. The color is original and in very good quality. Everything works properly. A fun way to enjoy an antique. Ready to hit the road. If you don’t know much, here is a little bit about these machines: The /5 models are air-cooled, four-stroke, opposed-twin (boxer) engines with hemispherical combustion chambers. The engine is built around a one-piece tunnel crank-case. The camshaft is driven by a duplex chain and is located below the crankshaft (unlike the /2 series which had the gear-driven camshaft above the crank). This reversed arrangement improves ground clearance for the same center of gravity and assists lubrication of the camshaft. Valves are actuated by the camshaft through hardened followers, push rods, and rocker arms. The R75/5 comes with 32 mm Bing CV (Constant Vacuum/constant depression) type carburetors. I tried to capture all details on the pictures…. I invite you to come, check and test this beauty personally. Motorcycle is sold as is with no guarantee. I can help with basic needs for transport. Reserve the right to sell locally prior to auction ending.
