1973 BMW R Series RA, BMW R60 /5 Years produced: 1970-1973 Claimed power: 46hp @ 6,600rpm Top speed: 102mph Engine type: 599cc air-cooled OHV opposed twin Transmission: 4-speed Weight: 440lb (wet) MPG: 45-50 The /5 models are air-cooled, four-stroke, opposed-twin (boxer) engines with hemispherical combustion chambers. The engine is built around a one-piece tunnel crank-case. The camshaft is driven by a duplex chain and is located below the crankshaft (unlike the /2 series which had the gear-driven camshaft above the crank). This reversed arrangement improves ground clearance for the same center of gravity and assists lubrication of the camshaft. Valves are actuated by the camshaft through hardened followers, push rods, and rocker arms. This classic motorcycle is all original and is in good running condition, all electrical devices work great, and it starts without issues. The chrome and paint need some care and conditioning, as seen in the photos, and the mechanicals are in good running condition. $3,200.00
