For sale is a nice running R75/5 SWB (short wheel base) "toaster tank" model. I found this bike many years ago. No idea what real mileage is. It was left outside for a while with a cover, and therefore required a bit of work, including carbs rebuilt, new rings, points and overall maintenance. I installed brand new header pipes and finned nuts. Mufflers were just fine. It runs really well now.Electric start works perfectly, and starts the engine instantly. It shifts well, and rides quite comfortably. I put a brand new set of Hagon shocks on it. It also has a brand new seat....the whole seat, pan, grab rail and all...not just a cover. Also has new tires, and a nicely polished front alloy wheel. The rear rim is chromed steel and has some surface rust on it. Has a new air filter and spark plug cables with proper resistor plug caps. This bike would make a great restoration project for someone who doesn't want to get into rebuilding the engine or transmission, or just run it as is for a reliable everyday bike. Plenty of parts sources available for these, including here on e-bay. Original tail light assembly comes with the bike. This is a nice running machine.This is a milestone BMW in that it is the first model with the low camshaft that was to follow all the their subsequent boxer engines. Make a reasonable offer.
