BMW R-Series description

Complete 1971 BMW R75/5 with a R80/7 engine and transmission. Factory R75 engine is long gone. R80/7 Engine has good compression, oil, doesn't leak oil, spins with the starter motor very well, and has very good spark. CARBURETORS NEED COMPLETE REBUILD, bike needs a new battery. I tried to get it started but carbs are very dirty and clogged. Right cylinder head threads are a little chewed up, SEE PHOTO. Comes with spare exhaust headers, not cylinder heads, I DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT CYLINDER HEAD. I have some of the hardware, but some will need to be sourced. I recommend replacing the cables and grips as well as the rear tire. I have a matching new, never used, rear knobby tire if you would like it. This bike has been sitting in an aircraft hanger for the last 12 years. It's clean and rust free. Gas tank is completely rust free, minus top inlet, scratched from gas pump nozzles while filling it up. Gas Tank has "Red Kote" liner. Rear wheel is not factory, but I have the factory rear hub and rim, complete with chrome hub cover. All electronics work, headlamp, turn signals, horn, brake light. I have the headlamp chrome and retaining clips. I have the ignition Key and clear title. I have the front fender and fairing as well. Speedo is missing the RPM indicator. PAINT IS NOT ORIGINAL, was repainted back in the day. Bike has new front tire and tube, I replaced it in order to be able to roll it around. I've always wanted a R75 but life is forcing me to part with this beauty. VIEW MY FEEDBACK, bid with confidence. I can deliver if need be. I live in Texas, delivering to either coast starts at $1300 and goes up from there. Price reflects fast and efficient means of transport.

WSBK 2013: Monza Race Report

Mon, 13 May 2013

Eugene Laverty and Marco Melandri split a pair of victories at Monza but the most biggest news from the World Superbike weekend was a strange series of appeals after Race Two that saw Tom Sykes finish third, relegated to fourth and then reinstated on the final step of the podium. The unusual mix-up occurred after Sykes, sitting in third place, ran off track and into the run off area on Turn 5 on his final lap. The Kawasaki rider returned to the track again in third place where he finished ahead of Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli.

Wed, 09 Nov 2011

It's not often a scooter catches your eye like the BMW C600 but that's because it's not often that Marco Melandri's girlfriend is standing next to it. EICMA can only mean one thing: new motorcycles. Oh and a handful of girls draped over them..
