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

New parts and components installed during the rebuild include:

Frame stripped and powder coated

New wiring harness

New seat cover

Triple tree rebuilt

Front struts rebuilt

New rear shock springs

All wheel and suspension bearings repacked

New brake pads

All new clutch, brake and throttle cables

All new lights

Halogen headlight upgrade

New plugs

New plug wires and caps

New Blue Lightning coils

New starter

New battery (2012)

EnDuraLast Electronic ignition(2013) $335.00

EnDuraLast 450w Charging System 105mm Stator (2013) $500.00 

Engine rebuild:

New timing chain and tensioner

All new gaskets and rubber

New clutch and cable

New main bearing seals

New connecting rod bolts and bearings

New pistons

New piston rings

Cylinders bored and honed

The tank could use a new paint job. The rear tail light mounting bracket has light rust

and needs to be re-chromed or replaced.

2010 BMW S1000RR Price Speculation

Wed, 03 Jun 2009

How’d you like to have the latest, most advanced motorcycle in BMW’s current line-up for $1,000 or less? Now that I have your attention I’ll clarify the above by saying that you can have, at some point, the new S1000RR literbike for a stated maximum of no more than $1,000 over the retail of what most of the Big Four will price their liter machines. This was undoubtedly the biggest news from BMW during the U.S.

S1000RR vs. Goodwood

Sat, 20 Mar 2010

And before you say it, no it's not "Start and finish a journey on two wheels without falling off." I rode up Goodwood's hill. And I did it on BMW's mighty S1000RR. Ok, so it wasn't infront of thousands of on-lookers and it wasn't at any great speed.

BMW S1000RR: new speed record

Sun, 19 Aug 2018

The achievement was chalked up to the fearless Erin Sills of the Hunter Sills Racing team. 242 mph (389 km/h)! This is the maximum speed shown by the jet lady on the salt lake in Bolivia.
