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

Firefighting Motorcycle
Fri, 17 Apr 2009Ever had an officer ask you “where’s the fire?” after being pulled over for speeding? Well now you have a good excuse. This converted BMW R1200RT has two 20 or 25 liter tanks (contain a premix of water and foam) mounted on either side that is connected to a 6.8 liter compressed air tank on the back of the bike that has a 20 to 30 meter hose. They are currently being used in the U.K.
