It is getting increasingly rare to find one of these bikes that is in such good original condition and that has been well looked after. A very smart retro 1970s bike in Metallic Lime Green (Nurburg Green Metallic BMW paint code 77), it has electric start with a five-speed gearbox, shaft drive, front disc brakes and 100mph ability. The vendor purchased the R75/ 6 in 2021, as a ‘Covid ride’ and for ‘stay-cations’ with the previous ownership since 1979.
In 2020, it is believed the machine was fitted with a pair of Continental tyres and Hagon rear shocks. More recently, in 2022, the bike benefitted from the following; new steering damper, oil filter and engine oil changed, braided hydraulic brake hose (front) and new locks fitted on the panniers. Regularly used, as a good, comfortable ride, it is offered with the original BMW owner’s manual, a BMW workshop manual and two sets of original BMW keys.
