Contact Chris at 312-878-8711, chris@motoworkschicago.com, or through ebay for any questions. We have a lot of time, effort and money into listing this motorcycle on ebay. Please be respectful of that and be certain that you intend to follow through with the sale. Your bid is a contract to buy. We have the listing set up to accept bids only from US and Canadian bidders in an effort to prevent scammers from ruining the auction. If you are a legitimate bidder outside of the US or Canada and you have a way to have the bike picked up at our location without it being crated, please e-mail Chris at chris@motoworkschicago.com. Provide him with your ebay ID and confirm that you can arrange international shipping and have the bike picked up uncrated at our location in Chicago, and he will gladly add you to the list that allows you to bid.This is a solid, matching-numbers R75/5 that looks good and runs great! The carbs have just been cleaned and synched, so it fires up easily and it runs like a top. This bike will take you across the country and back without breaking a sweat. The tires have good tread but they are looking a little old, so you might want to change them before doing so. It has the larger touring gas tank and Koni shocks. The side stand is missing. There are some cosmetic flaws as can be expected of a bike this age, but it looks nice overall. If you're looking for a vintage Beemer that you can actually ride and enjoy, this is a great one for you. There are 89 pics below detailing the condition of the bike. Please look at all of them carefully and ask any questions you have before bidding. You can call Chris at 312-878-8711, e-mail him at chris@motoworkschicago.com, or contact us through ebay. The bike is located at Motoworks in the city of Chicago. If you are local and would like to see it in person, please call 312-878-8711 to set up an appointment.
