BMW R-Series description

Up for sale is a 1971 BMW R75/5 short wheel base motorcycle. This bike runs excellent and has had over 1k worth of repairs and maintenance since I've owned it this past year. It has been garage kept. The previous owner was an older gentleman who had knee surgery so he was unable to ride the bike for a couple of years. It was always run and has never been sitting for long. 

This motorcycle is cosmetically in good shape but is nowhere near mint or completely original. It starts up usually on the first or second try and has been incredibly reliable daily driver for me this past year. With a new job my wife and I need a second car so I am sadly listing my bike. It is one of the most handsome bikes you will see anywhere and I constantly have people coming up beside me and saying how much they love the bike. The bike is very powerful and some of my friends who have a lot more experience than me say its one of the most fun bikes they have ridden. If you live in the Nashville area please come by and take a look and test drive the photos do not do it justice!

John Surtees to Lead Classic Vehicle Parade Fundraiser

Fri, 03 May 2013

Motorsports legend John Surtees will lead a parade of classic cars and motorcycles – including Surtees’ 1960 500cc Grand Prix Championship-winning MV Agusta – in his home town of Edenbridge, England. Surtees is the only person to have ever won world championships in both Grand Prix motorcycle racing and Formula One, and the parade will feature cars and bikes from his time as both a racer and a racing team owner. Surtees himself will drive the Team Surtees TS7, a F1 car constructed by his own team that debuted at the 1970 British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch.
