BMW r75/5 description

1973 BMW R75/5 custom motorcycle. Frame powder coated, lowered front end, good tires, 900cc engine kit, heads were rebuilt. Engine has approx. 2000 miles on it since top end re-build. Custom seat and mount, rear shocks. Rims are in good shape. Kick start only. Have re-pro coffee can taillight (not installed but wiring is all there). Wasn't sure if that was the light I was going to go with. Local bike show winner.

Has sat for over a year and now has an oil leak from gasket at driveshaft and tranny shift shaft. Fuel tap leaked and messed up paint on bottom part of tank. Smokes slightly when I rode it the other day when you get on the throttle, might have just been from sitting.

While some fortunate souls who live south of the Mason-Dixon line are able to ride their beloved beasts all year long, some are forced to put their hogs into hibernation by mother nature come winter time. Although most motorcyclists have little use for wintry weather, autumn is a truly beautiful time of year to ride. Granted, the days become shorter and the wind colder, but navigating your way through winding roads amid the vibrant colors of changing leaves is enough of a reward within itself.
