Highlights
- Highly original example of BMW’s ‘airhead’
- Recently upgraded with Siebenrock 1,000cc power kit
- Twin front discs, ‘light clutch’ conversion
- Recently serviced by Bavarian Bikes
The Appeal
The R75/6 was a logical evolution of BMW’s ‘boxer-twin’ motorcycle, adding the option of front disc brakes, as well as an updated tank design and individual instrument pod. The BMW hallmark shaft final drive continued to feature, and these bikes remained highly regarded for their responsiveness, smoothness and reliability.
This 1976 example of the ‘airhead’ has been well looked after and benefits from a recent 1,000cc Siebenrock power kit upgrade, professionally installed by Bavarian Bikes, resulting in more power and torque. The previous owner fitted a ‘light clutch’ conversion, making it easier to operate. The machine was fitted with the twin-disc front brake at the factory.
The motorbike was recently serviced by Bavarian Bikes. The seller advises that it has always been kept in a garage, and reports no marks of any significance.
All instruments and lights are described as being in good working order, with the indicators recently fixed.
The seller states, “This ‘bike goes perfectly, rides beautifully and is extremely reliable. It’s comfortable for long trips and easy to work on if you’re so inclined.” Largely original, apart from the power upgrade, it’s sure to be a reliable and enjoyable partner for its next owner.
