1971 BMW R75/5 with Sidecar

"Without a doubt, 1970 was a watershed year for BMW motorcycles. Having turned its focus to the automotive group throughout the 1960s, BMW’s motorcycles were burdened with styling and engineering roots that dated back to the 1940s. Although the R series motorcycles had enjoyed technical advances along the way, they appeared to be anything but modern in a world that had welcomed the Honda CB750K0. Then came the BMW R75/5 motorcycle.

Boasting an all-new motor, though retaining the signature horizontally opposed pushrod flat twin configuration, the R75/5 was virtually a new machine. The wholly redesigned motor had everything from new cylinder heads to a repositioned camshaft. Styling was suitably contemporary, making the BMW R75/5 a landmark machine."

Our BMW R75/5 has had only one owner over the last 30 years. We bought his estate consisting of 6 BMWs. This was his favorite bike. Attached to it is a Velorex sidecar which he rode to many BMW rallies and Indiana Sidecar club events. The sidecar is attached with sturdy custom fabricated gusset plates to insure proper handling. The seat is a QSL 1000 mile seat, also made in Indiana. This motorcycle has it's original paint, the tank is the larger BMW touring tank, the indicated mileage is 57,500 which the owner believes to be accurate.  This bike runs great, very quiet engine. Call John for details.
