This is my Monza Blue R75/5. As you can see in the photos, it's not a show queen, it has its share of dings, dents and scratches, but it's quite an eye catcher, and it runs as good today as any airhead that I've ever owned. Indicated mileage may not be accurate, I'm the 4th owner, so who knows....let's assume it's not accurate. But it runs very much like a very low mileage airhead. It was built 11/1971 and sold and titled as a 1972 model year. It's a SWB (short wheel base) model. It has many desirable period accessories such as a very rare 9-gallon Heinrich tank (still wearing the original Monza Blue/White paint and Karl Heinrich factory sticker!), Brown side-stand (much much better than the OEM side-stand), low Europa handlebars, Craven panniers, Koni rear shocks, headlight mirrors, and headlight guard, an 840cc big bore kit, and a lightened flywheel. The bike went through MAX BMW's shop last year for a checkup and a thorough service. It received new tires, a new battery, a tune up and fluid change, trans input shaft spline lube, rear drive spline lube, charging system test (no issues), fork rebuild, steering head bearings, carb rebuild, new brakes, carb synch and other maintenance service to get it in tip top shape. The receipt for this work ($3200) will be included, along with others. The bike starts on command and does not smoke, does not burn any oil, shifts extremely smoothly (unusual for an airhead!), stops, turns and handles like a brand new airhead. All electrical components, lights, charging system, etc work as they should. The bike is legally registered in my name via a NYS DMV "transferable registration" (NYS's idea of a title for any vehicle from 1972 and older). Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. I can be reached anytime at (917) 952-1680. Call or text is fine..
