Thank you for checking out our video!

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.

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.

The Americans know what quality is. Greetings from Germany.

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.

Glad to bring you a smile!

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

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

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.

This things were built to last! Outstanding bike!

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

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

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

Such beautiful bikes those early 70s R models

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.

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.

Nice 👍

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

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

what a beauty - congrats!

Lovely machine!

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

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!

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.

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.

Nice bike!

She's a beaut.

Thank you!

cool nice..

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

ครับผมสวยงามชอบๆๆๆ

Very nice!

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

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

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

Bee em Duh ba YA

Very good maschine.

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.

This guy is a savage. Ha ha, love it

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

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

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

it's a good one

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!

👍🏼

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

A 1971 did not have the side cover yet.

Shined up a bike that will need a full restoration

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

GREAT !!

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

Guapísima y q

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.

not original seat or those chrome hand rails.

tune it better...mufflers are too loud.. those things were super quiet !

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

Sounds choppy.

Shame on you...speeding AND disregarding a traffic sign

I had stability problems with my 1970 model. Similarly, the 71 has the short swing arm that seemed to be the cause. I thing they lengthened the swing arm in 72. On the 72 you can see the extension that was welded to the swing arm to cure the problem. Still, I drool over my love affair with that R75/5. Interestingly, with shorty bars mounted, the bike would stabilize noticeably when, at speed, I would lay flat on the tank. Comments???

I bought a new 1970 R60/5. On my way to school one day, on the freeway, the bike went into a violent speed wobble, and spit me onto the roadway. I slid down the road on my butt, with the bike across my lap. Took six weeks to heal enough that I wouldn't break open the scab when sitting down. I love the looks of that first model /5 and the quietness when tooling around town. Tried to get back on one, but now, they all feel unstable to me. I don't know that the extended swing arm models made any difference.
