SOLD..... 1976 BMW R75/6, Copper, 18 Lt. Tank 24,200 Mi. Running and rideable "Project bike". This 1976 BMW R75/6 is complete, has good compression on both cylinders, starts easily, and runs very smoothly. The engine and frame have matching numbers. The mileage on the title says ?non-actual?, but from all the normal wear indicators we?ve looked at on this bike we think that this is close. The Metzeller ME33 Front and ME77 rear tires are in good condition. It is equipped with MAC aftermarket mufflers in good condition. MACs are quality American made mufflers that are slightly louder and have more rumble than stock; a very pleasing note. The brakes are in good working condition. We cleaned the carburetors, tuned the motor, and cleaned and repacked the steering neck bearings. The instruments were both cleaned and serviced to insure extended proper operation. The transmission was repaired (wouldn?t go into 5th), cleaned inspected, reshimed, and resealed. The clutch was cleaned and inspected and the clutch splines properly lubed. New original cloth braided Continental fuel line was installed. After our test ride we discovered no obvious leaks. The electrics all work. The warts: No battery covers, no battery, no steering damper shock (the damper mechanism is intact), no horn. The rubber fork boots and the throttle cable boot need to be replaced, the touring seat needs to be recovered and is missing it?s hinges, the chrome rail on the seat has a thumbprint size area of missing chrome on the left side, the yellow left and red right control switches are stiff but work OK, the tool tray is there but there is no tool kit. The paint is fair, with a badly faded front half of the front fender. The fuel cap in the photos has been replaced with one that works and has no extra hole. We HAVE NOT serviced this bike; it is as-is! We recommend that a full Factory 10 K (10,000 mile) service be done before riding any distance. This bike would make an excellent ?Project Bike? for somebody not wanting to have to go into motor or transmission work; or you could just service it an ride it for years and years.
