We are auctioning one 1977 BMW 745cc R75/7 This would be an excellent candidate for a restoration project. As you can see in the photos the owner did some 'cutomizing' from the bike's original form. The bike itself is somewhat rare-ish. BMW only produced them for 6 months before replacing them with the R80. After only three years BMW's '/6' line-up was replaced in the autumn of 1976 by the '/7'. The R90S-style fuel tank (adopted across the range) and redesigned rocker covers were distinguishing features while at the top of the range, 980cc R100 models replaced the '90' series. Offering, arguably, the best compromise of power and economy, the R75/7 turned in an impressive performance when tested back in 1977 by Bike magazine, which reckoned it was faster than its maker claimed. The big BMWs have always been consummate touring motorcycles and the R75/7 came fully equipped for the job, boasting 'a stainless disc that stops you in the wet, superbly comfortable riding position and well-damped long-travel suspension, over 250 miles on one tank of fuel, the brightest headlamp in the business...' No wonder Britain's best-selling motorcycle magazine liked it so much. ****The owner last ran this bike 3 years ago**** ****This motorcycle has no title so please don't ask for one**** ****This motorcycle is on consignment with us**** ****Study photos carefully as this motorcycle is not available for viewing**** ****There will be no more information offered**** *****SHIPPING IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PURCHASER*****
