1971 BMW R75/5 Stunning, rare and original 1971 BMW R75/5! This is the original, nimble, short wheelbase model! Triple matching numbers and clean title! Just underwent a comprehensive servicing, runs perfectly, is extremely strong and is literally ready to ride anywhere! Mechanically, this bike is as close to perfect as one can get! Less than one month ago, the fuel system was fully flushed, the fork oil was changed, the clutch cable was replaced and the bike was completely inspected and tuned by a master BMW airhead specialist! The clutch feels extremely smooth, the transmission shifts crisply and effortlessly into all gears and both front and rear brakes are very firm. The tires are recent and in great shape. A new battery was just installed and this R75/5 can be effortlessly kick-started (this was one of the last years for this highly-desirable feature) or electrically started. The paint is all original with the only exception being the tank, which was recently professionally sanded, primed and painted in matching, original BMW Avus black paint and was professionally hand pinstriped as well. The seat is in excellent condition, with no tears or cracks. All of the instrumentation functions perfectly, including the speedometer, tachometer and odometer. If you are looking at this, you probably know this legendary model and realize its collector appeal. The R75 is simple, timelessly elegant, easy to service and exceptionally dependable. Don’t miss this opportunity to own this iconic R75/5 that is sure only to appreciate significantly in value in coming future! This is a NO RESERVE auction, meaning that the highest bidder at the end of the auction wins, regardless of the final price! All reasonable offers will be considered and I reserve the right to end the auction early. As such, I encourage you not to wait to bid if interested! Terms of Sale I have had to relist this bike due to non-paying auction winners. Please only bid if you intend to complete purchase should you win the auction. Although this R75 is in excellent pre-owned condition, it is a vintage motorcycle and is not new and does show some reasonable and expected wear from use. Warranty This motorcycle is being sold AS-IS, with no warranty stated or implied in any way, shape, or form. Deposit A two hundred dollar ($200) deposit by credit/debit card or bank account through PayPal is due within twenty-four (24) hours after the close of the auction. Remainder Due I am happy to store the bike for as long as needed, up to three (3) months; however, the remaining balance must be paid within three (3) days following the close of the auction via bank transfer, check, or cash. Shipping I am happy to help with shipping arrangements, but this will ultimately be the responsibility of the winning bidder.
