1971 BMW R75/5

[@pietmarks127]

Mine ‘73 Granada Red. Toaster tank. Low bars. Headlight mounted horns. Bar end mirrors. Owned it 40 years and then my MD said no more. Now it’s gone to a good home.

The most beautiful sound…boxer engine, i love it

[@TriguyT110]

Thank you for checking out our video!

[@andikarkalake3750]

Sehr schöne Maschine. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Stuart3844]

What a beautiful description of a beautiful bike. Keep her as original as possible an let her show her age. Rusty bolts and saggy "upholstery" add to her beauty, keep her as she is. Thanks for shearing.

[@ryanthompson2893]

Something about these old airheads just makes me smile. I don’t know if it’s the sound or what but it’s just sweet.

[@TriguyT110]

Glad to bring you a smile!

[@deweypug]

Very cool I’ve got the very same model... FYI the1971 model R75/5 did not come with side covers, they were added in '72-73

[@HikeOntario]

deweypug owner will be happy to know that!

[@Jo.hannesW]

Beautiful, really. Always ride safe and looking ahead: you only have drum brakes... warm regards from a R60/5 owner in Bavaria, Germany.

[@TriguyT110]

Vielen Dank!

[@speedsterjohnny7191]

I owned a 1971 R60/5, the first '71 to arrive in the shop I was dealing with. It was Bill's Cycle Shop and I think it was in Canastota, NY....probably long out of business. It was a great machine and I had it equipped with a handlebar dog bone to move them back a little, a luggage rack, a Califia fairing, Wixom bags and an Ez Berg saddle. Yep, I loved it.

[@BitcoinBulgaria1992]

I inherited a r75/5 and a r69 from my father, the r69 was stolen just before i take it back from the street where it was parked and the r75/5 is now renovated and has a lovely sound

[@bielbills]

This things were built to last! Outstanding bike!

[@travelinben1966]

Very nice.I had an R65 once.This makes me want to get another old Beemer.

[@johneastman1905]

Enjoy the blasting down the road … Do Not Enter … signs be damed …. Nice old bike .

[@duanetrivett750]

If i had this Bike i would just Ride, well i would get the seat recoverd for comfort and just Ride it . I am almost 62yrs old so i would my nephew restore it afterwards. Great Bike !

[@take5th]

I had the pleasure of access to this exact bike in the 70s when I was a teenager. My stepdad had one. I used to sneak it out and pick my girlfriend and we would ride everywhere. Good times.

[@jonwilliam8337]

Such beautiful bikes those early 70s R models

[@davidgiles5030]

I had exactly the same bike for 10 years and 160,000 kms. In that time I replaced a diode pack. I had a Windjammer 111 with lowers and Krauser bags. Great machine.

[@TriguyT110]

Nice 👍

[@vehikelfranz]

Nice bike! Nice details! Very original except the mufflers, but even this is ok on a used bike from this period as the original mufflers were not available all times. Mine is exactly from the same time, but a german model.(Km/h and no side-reflectors) See the details: left mirror mount (there was no right mirror originally) smooth leather on seats with two handles, there was no side cover in 71, even the slightly different headlamp-paint is original! note the hinge of the tank-cap is in front. the 71 model still had the short wheelbase that was sometimes a little bit tricky at high speed. Please, dont restore it, simply replace the rusty screws and bolts, install correct mufflers, and everything is good!

[@wiscgaloot]

I love that idle--less than 800 rpm, and the engine gently shakes side to side, if you've got it tuned up right.

[@sandipsardar790]

Love you sir. I love this bike as well as your video. 🙏

[@MyNameIsntRonaldo]

Side covers are not missing. The 1971 beemer just didn't come with them.

[@simonapeters4372]

When the man wrote off I could tell it was only running on one cylinder needs to synchronize the carburetors another thing I noticed the rear shocks were set on the softer setting should be said to the hardest setting

[@motooilermotooiler9597]

Correct. The bike needs a tune up. Could also be there is 1 in front of the 16…

[@williammoses6460]

I got mine in March of ‘73 in Munich. Racked up 12,000 miles in 101 days. Flew it back to NYC and rode it home to California. I rode it for another three years and sold it when we decided to have children. I chose that bike because I was a scofflaw who liked to exceed the posted speed limit. Quiet bikes were really rare and the cops, even the CHP, never ticketed me. Nice bike.

[@tekhelet777]

I am restoring one exactly like this one. i wish mine was this mint to start with. Mine has been a money pit. Oh BTW they never came with the chrome side panels back then.

[@Gregor7677]

Very nice video. I just bought a 73 toaster tank model with 31K miles. Almost as nice as this one.

[@ElBrooklyn1]

I’ve got a 72 toaster. You got a nice find! But I think the tank and fenders have been repainted, otherwise they’d match the slightly dull paint of the headlight bucket and frame. Also, that’s probably a new chrome ring around the lamp, otherwise it’d have the same scarring that’s only the bucket. My bike had the same thing when I bought it in 1991: repainted tank and front fender, original headlight, frame and rear fender.

[@boyygin75]

Eh this video ruined me. I love old simple ridable bikes. Was never a fan of the Harleys or the Ninjas, always liked the Royal Enfields till I saw this bike. Holy Moly it's beautiful in all ways. The sound, the looks and just the feel of a real bike. Very nice

[@MrTuxedomoon]

what a beauty - congrats!

[@Petethepup58]

The '71 R75 did not have side covers from the factory. Toaster tank bikes did, LWB bikes did, but this bike was a SWB with no covers.

[@mikec6617]

Oh yum. Me want! This bike will take you across the US.

[@RaptorGP]

Lovely machine!

[@rainerbruschke5750]

Nice bike, but the mufflers are from a later, also the jack handle....sorry I am german riding such bike since 40 years

[@dsbmwhacker]

Correct....NO side covers on the 1970 / 1971 models....also has the later (not original) '74 + mufflers

[@M3gaprod]

So My sisters Husbands Drives a Blue R75/5 it isn't stock unfortunately because parts are too complicated to find. It has 350k+ km it runs nice whit regular fuel those bmw are so complicated to kill!

[@sheepraider2196]

Nice bike!

[@simonapeters4372]

This man is not a biker he’s an owner bikers don’t ride in shorts and sandals no helmet common sense ain’t that common anymore

[@petten33]

She's a beaut.

[@TriguyT110]

Thank you!

[@mananmaskkk359]

ครับผมสวยงามชอบๆๆๆ

[@branislavturek7573]

Very good maschine.

[@battleshipnewjerseysailor4738]

Just in case nobody caught the error, the 1971 R75/5 did not come with side covers, they were added in 1973, also the guy was wrong about the mufflers, they are not original

[@mr_bingo4914]

Anyone else notice the fact he just drove off down a road saying ‘Do not enter’ 🤣

[@uh1c-chiefna996]

And yet 100' down the road is a speed limit sign.

[@Chris-hj3lc]

This guy is a savage. Ha ha, love it

[@arymonem]

Very nice!

[@Heavywall70]

Bee em Duh ba YA

[@JessicasMotorWorld]

[@antonheggen7506]

A 1971 did not have the side cover yet.

[@sigmarg.210]

[@madogblue]

Shined up a bike that will need a full restoration

[@wyncarleton1750]

Shorts...sandals...and a T shirt......

[@russtaylor2122]

You know they're /7 mufflers...?

[@JoeMama-vj8es]

Yeah... not original mufflers but very nice.

[@mfuller490]

Do you know what you are talking about? Original mufflers for sure.

[@williamreynolds9280]

@@mfuller490 no, not original mufflers, but a close rendition. They do rust out.

[@francesco-w2z]

Conquista calzini…..hai spiegato tutto

[@donaldisonmarquesdasilva9543]

Do you sell this moto?

[@TriguyT110]

Yes, it sold on eBay...thanks for your interest.

[@ritzgj3666]

Do not enter...,and don`t forget your helmet.

[@TriguyT110]

Well I came back out (this is a very lightly traveled road behind my property)...I strongly support helmets use, just didn't wear one for this little demonstration ride. Thanks for your interest and your concern for my safety.

[@elendshuraglump3620]

GREAT !!

[@dafu788]

👍🏼

[@captlarry-3525]

not original seat or those chrome hand rails.

[@miguelangelgarcialopez2638]

[@siegwartschewe8509]

Schön umbauen lassen den Trümmerhaufen, Junge!!!!! Einen ´Bobber´ oder ´Cafe Raser´ von machen!!!!!!

[@JMc-s7g]

Guapísima y q

[@captlarry-3525]

[@buckwheatINtheCity]

Sounds choppy.

[@philiplee7604]

Brave, crazy or stupid ?doing this on rotted 50 year old tyres and no helmet... if tyre had blown... say no more.

[@joaniebarber2910]
