1970 BMW R75/5 - Heinrich tank - super low miles!
Vehicle Description

1970 BMW R75/5 with 10,000 original miles!

I purchased this first-year R75/5 from the original owner several years ago, and spared no expense
making it one of the best-looking "slash fives" I've ever seen.

This bike has a show-stopping 10 gallon Heinrich tank with its original paint,
hand-painted pinstripes and original black rubber kneepads
... in excellent condition.

All paint on the bike is original, including all original hand pinstripes.
The bike includes it's original seat (amazing condition!), tool-kit and paperwork/receipts.
Clear Texas title in my name, currently licensed as an antique.

I have invested a large amount of money making this bike perform:
  • Original Heinrich 10 gallon tank
  • A San Jose braced swingarm
  • BMW Euro bars
  • Proper Hoske silencers
  • Works Performance dampers
  • Stainless steel battery holder
  • Polished engine cases
  • Stainless Albert mirrors
  • Brown side stand
  • Halogen headlight

Polishing the engine covers is a time-consuming and expensive job, but it looks incredible when it's done right!
Polished cases include the starter cover (top), air cleaner and BOTH front engine covers.
All original finishes on the bike are near-perfect.

The original speedometer was replaced at 9,600 (original) miles, due to the fact that the number paint on the odometer was flaking.

All maintenance and upkeep have been done on this road-ready bike
  • Near-new proper Metzler tires
  • All new cables and rubber fittings.
  • Engine oil seals have been renewed
  • Recent battery
  • Splines cleaned and lubed
The bike needs nothing but a loving and devoted rider!

The bike starts easily with no smoke, runs, shifts and stops as a new "slash five" would.

You are welcome to inspect the bike in person.

This bike is sold as is, where is.
Cash or certified funds within 72 hours of auction close.
Shipping is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
