1971 BMW R60/ 5 Rennsport Re-creation
which was built in 2015 by Jason Blackiston of Anson Classic Restoration using a 1971 BMW R60/ 5 road bike as the basis.
The R60/ 5 was comprehensively overhauled during the transformation, which included removing the starter motor and altering the crankcases to make the engine look more like a Rennsport. Surplus lugs were removed from the frame, and a set of new Earles-type leading-link forks acquired from Germany. The original fuel tank was expertly reshaped and an original-style racing seat fabricated, all of this work being carried out in-house. The R65's instruments have been retained, neatly hidden behind the number-plate/ fly-screen, and the machine is road legal for daytime use.
After completion, Jason's Rennsport re-creation was featured in The Classic MotorCycle (May 2016 edition, copy available) and the machine also comes with a detailed list of the works carried out and components fitted/ modified.
super rare to even come across a recreation at a fraction of the cost
