BMW R-Series description

1972(built in 1971) BMW R75/5 Motorcycle

Over $10,000 invested!

I have owned this bike since 2012. From 2003-2004 it underwent a complete

frame-off restoration and rebuild. The bike is supremely road worthy and has done

several tours including the 1,200 mile Lake Michigan Circle Tour. It is in excellent

mechanical condition, but it is a road bike meant for riding. It starts on the 2nd turn

over, and only needs light choking when cold. The sale includes Krauser saddle bags

with soft case inserts and associated mounting brackets.



Mileage since rebuild: 6,400+/-

Clear Colorado Title in hand

Post rebuilt insurance appraisal of $8,000 with paperwork

New parts and components installed during the rebuild include:

Frame stripped and powder coated

New wiring harness

New seat cover

Own (what could be) a piece of motorcycling history

Mon, 14 Jun 2010

Get bidding for what could be a revolutionary motorcycle, as the advert states all you need is, "a fair wedge of ingenuity" to marry together a BMW K75 and the 1.4 diesel engine from a Citroen AX. Thankfully the seller will be able to help with the project: "I have most of the design lodged firmly in my head, and will be more than happy to provide information." With a starting price of £100 and no bids the diesel project bike only has one day left on eBay

Transport Canada Recalls 2013 BMW R1200GS for Traction Control Bug

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

The 2013 BMW R1200GS hasn’t arrived in showrooms yet and it’s already been subjected to its second recall in Canada. Fortunately, this means the problems should be corrected before BMW‘s updated adventure-tourer gets delivered to customers. Earlier this month, Transport Canada announced a recall for the new R1200GS for a potential transmission oil leak.

CFMoto 650TK Riders Set Record with 21,222-Mile Tour of China

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

A couple of adventurers have claimed a new world record for longest journey by motorcycle in a single country after completing a 21,222-mile trek around China. Buck Perley and Amy Mathieson completed their trek, traveling all 33 of China’s provinces in 147 days on a CF Moto 650TK sport-tourer. Guinness World Records still needs to ratify the couple’s journey, but if it stands, they will have surpassed the previous record of 18,041 miles set by Steven H. Siler earlier this year, after he completed his 26-day trip around the U.S.
