1976 BMW R75/6, 20K miles, 100% all original parts (including tools) + saddlebags and running perfectly. Antique, a true beauty. Selling because I am moving into an apartment and need to get a newer bike. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Some comments from questions that potential buyers have had: Now, in terms of details of this motorcycle: 1- I am the 3rd owner of this bike. 2- We did a fine tuning of the bike about 2 months ago (changed spark plugs, rubber protectors, put in a brand new battery) so it runs perfectly good. My next move on the bike was buying a new seat as the one it has (original) is just a bit rusty.2016-12-13 04:41:15Miami, Florida, United States207200 -
