1975 BMW R90/6, classic airhead in purple! new tires, serviced, luggage, 61k?Bought as a non-runner at an estate sale but it was plated and running in spring 2015.Would make a great commuter. The purple has resulted in a "Barney" nickname for the bike :-)Mileage is a minimum as odometer has been intermittent since I've been working on the bike.____________________________________________________Here are way more pics than Ebay will allow me (and higher resolution):https://kwc.smugmug.com/1975-R906____________________________________________________ Video so you can hear it run !https://youtu.be/qQJRFAgX_rI____________________________________________________Features 1975 BMW R90/6 airhead / boxer twinstock bike except for Brown sidestand and bar-end mirrorsI also think it may also have upgraded charging systemaftermarket (but still German) bar end switches, including euro headlight switch pair of Krauser bags in good serviceable shape, with mounting bracketsKrauser rear luggage rackstock seat (recovered) and nice Daylong (or Mayer?) touring seatcolor matched full R100RT fairing in ok shape (has been on the bike in past)K&N air filterfriction-style throttle lockOEM tire pump still on frame railhas one folding key_______________________________________________________________Mechanicalnew period-correct Dunlop tires and tubes installedfuel tank was flushed (has been sealed in past, no evidence of past leak...precautionary?)oil and filter changed, trans oil changed, final drive oil changed, brake fluid swappedK&N air filter refreshednew spark plugsbulbs replaced in gauges, installed new neutral switchgrips trimmed and bar end mirrors addedpetcocks cleaned and fuel filters / strainers replacedcarbs had been stored dry so no rebuild required, added new float bowl gaskets starts easily and idles smoothly, clutch feels good and tranny shifts normally rides well, suspension good, like any old airhead the brakes are uninspiring, sooooo.....plan your stops!as a result, could use new pads / shoes at some point although they may scuff in with more ridinglighting, switches, turn signals, horn all work as it should, including all dash warning lightsspeedo and tach work but odometer is intermittent, so miles are unknown _____________________________________________________________ Cosmetic conditionThe bike is a rider, not a show bike, but it is presentable (it won't embarrass you)frame clean and rust free, no center standrims have age-appropriate patinapaint is home-baked but reasonable, a little orange peely (and chipping a little on tank edges)pinstriping is hand painted and just okone sidecover has a repair on edge but not in line of sightstock seat recently covered and in great shapeDaylong or (Mayer?) touring seat in superb shape and comfortable (one of pics above shows seat on bike)Krauser bags have a few dents and scuffs but latch well and are solidfairing has some shelfwear scratches and one repaired crack on headlight surround, seems to be completeleft pipe has an small discolored spot from an old acid spill, right pipe has a few small dings (but pipes solid with nice chrome)tank has some rubs around and on the roundels from the fairing ______________________________________________________________ Sale details $500 deposit due through Paypal within 48 hours of auction end this deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE if you do not follow through on the sale for your own reason also....the ENTIRE COST of the bike cannot be paid through Paypal, just the deposit full payment due at pickup within 10 days of auction end if possible; if not possible, email me to notify I CAN ship this motorcycle or possibly deliver, email for details, fly-and-ride also possible!
