We have owned and ridden this 1971 R-75/5 BMW Short Wheel Base motorcycle for about 15 years, I have ridden it two up with my son to North Carolina several times as well as a couple trips to Osh-Kosh, Wisconsin, we have ridden it to the mountains both Adirondak and Catskill, it has been to many AIRHEAD and MOA Rallies. This is not your normal R-75/5, the engine and frame numbers match, the engine is stock, as you can see from the pictures the cycle has EPCO Stainless Steel Headers and EPCO "Norton Style" open Pea Shooter Stainless Steel Mufflers, it is not loud but it makes more music than your standard R-75/5. We installed 32 MM Round Slide MIKUNI Carburetors and K&N Liftime Air Filter, between the carburetors, air filter and exhaust system this R-75/5 really comes alive. Over the years I have done numerous repaires and updates, Progressive Front Springs, Charging System Rotor, Electronic Voltage Regulator, Various Gaskets, Seals, Service, and Tires as required. Normal Routine Maintenace, nothing out of the ordinary. The R-75/5 still enjoys her Original Silver Paint and Blue Pinstrip, The Silver Paint on the Gas-Tank is dead. The Front Fender is Bobbed and I have an original Black Full Size Front Fender that I will include if you so desire. This R-75/5 Sports with the R-90S Short Bars and Handles Nicly. The stock Speedometer and Tachometer work however the Odometer quit functioning a while back. The Original Tool Kit will also be included in the sale. I purchased the Saddle Bags New from the local BMW Shop and installed them on the REYNOLDS Mounts. Very Nice Rideable Classic Motorcycle that will only gain in value, very dependable and a lot of fun. The R-75/5 runs good and strong, does not smoke or burn oil and no oil leaks. Just installed a New OEM/BMW REAR MAIN SEAL and New OEM/BMW CLUTCH PLATE with all required Hardware, New Glassmat Sealed Battery INTERSTATE CYTX20HL-BS. Also included with the R-75/5 is a New Set OEM/BMW Tank Rubber Knee Pads and New OEM/BMW Foot Peg Rubbers. Shipping is buyers responsability, ask questions, good luck, and thank you!
