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
