BMW R-Series description
Up for sale is a 1971 BMW R75/5 short wheel base motorcycle. This bike runs excellent and has had over 1k worth of repairs and maintenance since I've owned it this past year. It has been garage kept. The previous owner was an older gentleman who had knee surgery so he was unable to ride the bike for a couple of years. It was always run and has never been sitting for long.
This motorcycle is cosmetically in good shape but is nowhere near mint or completely original. It starts up usually on the first or second try and has been incredibly reliable daily driver for me this past year. With a new job my wife and I need a second car so I am sadly listing my bike. It is one of the most handsome bikes you will see anywhere and I constantly have people coming up beside me and saying how much they love the bike. The bike is very powerful and some of my friends who have a lot more experience than me say its one of the most fun bikes they have ridden. If you live in the Nashville area please come by and take a look and test drive the photos do not do it justice! Some of the work I have done in last 200 miles New K70 tires (less than 100 miles) New Headlight Carbs cleaned & timing adjusted All new fluids (Final drive, transmission, and drive shaft) New side mirrors New low profile seat (do not have original) New Horn New light switch Valves adjusted New spark plugs New battery New Fork Oil Odometer does not work so I am unsure of how many miles are on the bike. Has a Lester Mag rear wheel. No I do not have the original spoke wheel. Aftermarket front turn signals & no tool tray. I have also the $200 stainless steel hardware kit. I have switched out some but not all the nuts and bolts. Clear title in hand and an extra key. LOCAL PICKUP ONLY. NO SHIPPING |

The future. But we can't have it
Thu, 10 Nov 2011It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
WSBK: 2012 Magny-Cours Results – Championship Decided by Half a Point
Tue, 09 Oct 2012You would think carrying a 30.5 point lead into the final round of the 2012 World Superbike Championship would be a safe enough margin to win the title. Aprilia‘s Max Biaggi made it interesting, inexplicably crashing out of the first race at the finale in Magny-C0urs before scoring a fifth place finish in Race Two to give him a 0.5 point margin over Kawasaki‘s Tom Sykes to win the title. The 358 to 357.5 point difference is the narrowest finish ever in WSBK.
Ohlins Issues Recall Notice For BMW S1000RR And R1200R Steering Dampers
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Ohlins is issuing a recall notice for select aftermarket steering dampers for the BMW S1000RR and R1200R. The company believes the bracket holding the damper in place to be improperly machined, and a probable material defect in the aluminum alloy could cause stress fractures. Ohlins states that although “there is no risk for losing control during normal riding,” there is a risk the bracket will fail during slow-speed maneuvers, where the bars are turned at maximum steering angle.
