1970 BMW R-Series 75/5 SWB Black 750cc I have owned this vintage motorcycle since the early 90's and have always kept it garaged and running well. The bike is registered with a current valid FL title and has matching Engine & Frame VIN numbers. The odometer lists 59,941 actual miles and works flawlessly. She is in great shape and really rides and runs great so in the interest of full disclosure I have noted everything that I have replaced as well as some known issues with the bike. She always starts, runs strong, and has never given me a problem. I have spent over $1,800.00 on her in the last few years and have finally decided to free up some space in my garage. Other than some typical scuff marks and imperfections, this is a solid example of an early 70's short wheel base R-series in good clean running shape. For video of her running : https://vimeo.com/66282151 Pros: Original low profile Magura Euro bars (cafe style)Euro style bar end mirrors gives it more appropriate cafe lookI have had both tires and tubes replaced with Metzler LASERTEC tires (within last year)I replaced the battery with a top of the line motorcycle ODYSSEY battery.Needle bearing upgradeNew clutch and spline lubeNewly recovered original seatStainless steel exhaust system (cost about 60% more than oem)Both Bing carbs rebuiltBoth fuel petcocks replacedAll new gas lines (original style cloth covered)Gas tank internal acid etched and coatedTwo new keys and original all metal keyPaint is good but there are some age marks here and thereEngine runs strong and always startsTransmission works great and shifts nicelyStarter, lights, hi-beams, indicator lights, horn, blinkers, etc. all workNew blinker relay Cons: Right cylinder head leaks a bit of oil when sitting for a long time - has been sitting in a hot Florida garage and therefore may need a new gasket.Left valve cover has a scrape from a light fall - not very noticeable unless you look from below and can be easily replaced for less than $100A maintenance valve adjustment is needed - right side valve needs adjustment as right bank smokes a bit on start-up and makes some slight valve noises.
