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.

BEFORE YOU BUY 

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following: 

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.. 

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee  be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates. 

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it’s customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind. 

✓ VAT is included in the buyer’s fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing. 

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence. 

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own  full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle. 

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection 

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it’s worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder’s responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase. 

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
