BMW R-Series description

Up for sale is my 1970 BMW R60/5.  I've had this for a while now.  Always stored inside.  My plans have changed.  Mostly complete, biggest thing missing are the two rear turn signals.  This bike is not running but the engine does turn over nicely and transmission shifts smoothly.  There are some areas of damage, and I've included what I can see in the photos.  The one valve cover has a hole on top and the center stand where the lug broke off there is hole there as well.  Stand seems solid enough.  Some dings in the gas tank but I can't see any areas where it could have leaked.  Nice red coating inside.  Handlebars show some rust.  I can see no broken fins.  Tail lamp is early, front signals are early, every thing looks correct except the mufflers which themselves are in nice shape just not the correct cigar mufflers.  If I was going to keep this, I'd pull it apart to lube the splines at the very least.  Check the clutch.  Change all fluids.  The wiring will need some hook up but looks complete except the turn signal wiring.  Comes with extras as shown.  BMW drive shaft boot and front gators.  Also has most of the tool kit and tool tray.  This is a triple numbers match machine and a desirable year but will require some work to get it into top shape.  I should add not for the faint of heart but I know it won't deter some folks. I don't have a title for this but I do have a bill of sale from the previous owner that will be included.  These /5 models are getting harder to find and their price is going up if you're lucky enough to find one.  This one is a great start even if you just want to sit on it.  Nice investment.  Buyer is responsible for shipping but I will help out here on my end with loading and being available to load. $500 non refundable deposit via paypal, the rest wire transfer or CASH in hand on pick up.  Other arrangements upon agreement before auctions' end. Ask questions, I check my email daily.

Charley Boorman’s BMW R1200 GS Adventure Stolen – and Recovered

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

Adventure touring documentary star Charley Boorman and his BMW R1200GS Adventure have traveled a long way together, but the motorcycle had a bit of an adventure on its own after thieves stole the bike. The stolen BMW wasn’t the one Boorman rode with Ewen McGregor in “Long Way Round” (that was a R1150GS Adventure) or the one used in the sequel “Long Way Down“. Boorman did ride it on his last project, “Charley Boorman’s Extreme Frontiers: Canada”.
