I'm putting my awesome 1973 (built December 1972) Toaster R75/5 up for sale. As you can see, it's been modified a bit for street/off-road use. The bike was recently (beginning of this summer) completely gone through and received new tires, rebuilt wheel bearings, new rear shocks, refreshed front fork, trans re-seal, rear drive reseal and re-shim, new stainless steel front spokes laced to a correct BMW Weinmann 18-inch wheel, new battery, all new fluids, carb rebuild, new points, new brakes and more. The paint is original and still shines nicely although the bike has acquired nicks, scratches and developed a "patina" from regular use. The fenders are from a Bultaco, seat is custom made to fit the custom sub-frame. Other features include BMW F650 handle bars, a beefy top triple clamp and a powder coated crash bar. Clock and aux lights are not hooked up, never got around to that. The bike starts with ease and runs super smooth and strong. It's a joy to ride. It does not leak any fluids, it doesn't smoke, or make any unusual noises. Everything works as it should. Mileage is believed to be accurate, but I'm not the original owner so I cannot put my hand on the bible to attest to this. The engine number matches the VIN on the frame as well as the title. It's a "matching numbers" bike. It's offered at no reserve. This is one of those bikes that you can fly in and ride home regardless of where you live. It's as solid a classic BMW airhead as you'll find, and set up to handle just about any terrain! Selling because I have too many bikes at the moment. So no trade offers, please. Buyer arranges and pays for transportation if you desire to ship it. I'll help any way that I can. Please only bid if you are serious about buying. This is a NO RESERVE auction. If you have less than 5 positive feedbacks, call or text me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. Feel free to contact me about this bike at (917) 952-1680.

Title is clean, you will be able to register this bike for street use in every State and every country. Thanks for all of the interest.
