BMW R-Series description

I have here a 1969 BMW R69US that has been converted to an early R75/5 engine, transmission and controls.
750cc reliable engine, 5 speed transmission, early R75/5 headlight bucket and handlebars controls. Bike has under 2,000 miles since conversion. The speedometer and odometer both work great, but the mileage shown on the speedo 67,xxx is not accurate to the wear and tare of the motorcycle
Many upgrades, 12v battery conversion, has both kick start and electric start, wixom bags.
Runs perfect and needs nothing. It is ready for a side-car should you decide to add on (just bolts on).Very expensive bike to build but well worth it as you get the vintage look of a /2 and the reliability of the /5 engine and transmission.

This year, it was completely gone through to make sure everything was in order for 600mile trip that i just took. I have many receipts from a reputable shop in Chicago that shows the work done. This is a turn key bike thats ready to go and enjoyed for many years to come. Cosmetically not a show bike but a looker as i use it as a rider in the city and on weekend out of town trips.

I have more pictures and a video showing the bike running nicely, can email per request

I also have the contact information of the person that did the work on the motorcycle for any technical questions you may have

Mon, 06 Jan 2014

A recall affecting 18 different BMW motorcycle models from seven model years has been announced for the U.S., affecting 50,184 motorcycles. At issue is a potential leak in the fuel pumps or auxiliary fuel pumps on 2005-2011 BMW R series models, 2005-2012 K series models, 2006-2010 HP2 models and 2010-2011 S1000RR sportbikes. A similar recall was announced last month in Canada, affecting 6,325 motorcycles, and we knew it was a matter of time before the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced one for the U.S.

European Parliament Makes ABS Mandatory, Tighten Emissions Standards by 2016

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

The European Parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of new rules that would increase emission standards and make anti-lock braking systems mandatory for all new large motorcycles, scooters and trikes and quads by 2016. The new regulations, which would still need approval from European Union member states, may only directly affect Europe, but they will have a wide-reaching affect on manufacturers’ product development for other markets. BMW, for example, has already made ABS standard for all its motorcycles for 2013.
