1975 R60/6

1975 BMW R60/6STOCK #: 940741
COLOR: Blue (2 shades)
MILEAGE: 14,000 plus (see notes below)
ACCESSORIES & OPTIONS: Krauser Cylinder Guards, Black Bar end mirrors,
COSMETIC CONDITION: Slightly below average. The bike has a /7 series gas tank in original paint with a decent dent below the right side tank logo several inches in diameter plus a very small one to the rear of the same logo. There are assorted scratches. The seat is also a stock /7 model to fit with the tank. The fenders and side covers do not match and the paint is NOT original. Most rubber is old but serviceable. A home built seat lift of kit is installed and the front side seat trim is missing. Headers and the cylinders were painted black and there are simple clamps on the headers were they meet the crossover pipe. The instrument cover has a medium crack near the handlebars.
MECHANICAL CONDITION: This bike arrived with a very weak battery but we were able to get it started; the battery has totally died since then. It spins free and the carbs and fuel tank look clean enough to fire up again with a new battery and fresh fuel. Exhaust is serviceable, shocks are iffy but original. Tires are a set of Metzeler ME88 rear and ME33 front and barely show any wear, the front still has mold nubs. Fork seals do not appear to be leaking. Both wheels look straight with very little corrosion and the brake disc shows almost no wear.
NOTES: The engine was swapped out as the number (4925122) does not match the main frame. It should be a 1977 R60/7 and this was very common as these motors were cheap enough (750’s and 900’s commanded the big money) that a swap was less costly than a rebuild, etc. While not stock there’s nothing we see that could not have this bike up and safely on the road for an overall fluid change, new battery and a few adjustments. There is what appears to be a new left side control switch installed and it has the rare black knob switch for the ignition. No seat lock at all and no key for the tank lock, tool kit, etc are included.
OFFERED AT: $1,495
