The Appeal
Renowned for their elegant engineering solutions, solid build quality and strong performance, BMW have produced motorcycles with horizontally opposed twin cylinder engines for a century. The 75R/6 is a fine machine and makes a great choice for those searching for a usable classic bike.
Here we have a nicely restored 1976 example that reportedly rides very well indeed. The vendor points out the impressive attention to detail adhered to during the restoration process; sourcing rare original parts to ensure that this 75R/6 is as close to factory spec as it could possibly be. Presented in fantastic overall condition and with apparently just 500 kilometres covered since its restoration, this is a great example that we’re sure will be a welcome addition to any collection.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
