Indicator lights are not correct color..... timing is off for the convert.... just call it what you made it, it's no longer a 60/5.... not a better bike a different bike that you gave 3 or 4 different names to! 😢
Thanks for the wonderful bike. I would love to own it. In the past I had an R 45 first, and an R 800 GS many years later. I liked the R 45 a lot, the 800 less especially because, while racing, I had the sensation that something was rotating against the direction of travel, perhaps it was the anti-vibration device inside the engine.
Nice vid. I am going to see a 1973 R75/5 this coming Monday. I love this bike. Do you have an idea of how much I should pay for it?. Seller say it has close to 30,000KM.
With a lot of these, they are often like many of the things that came before and end up very much like the original type things that we all used to like before - which mostly isn't a bid thing, I’d say… 😮
I was born 1957, When I was looking for my first bike I looked at a BMW 250 thsTRRRRRRRRRILLat was half of a 500 BMW, Vertical. I would have bought it, but someone 30 minutes befgore had agreed. If so i MIGHT SilllL BE bmw; i Was in the air training corps. With my squadron leader they taught Biges we did bikes. My squadron leader, who had done Germany tolde me, you take a 600 BMW, skim the head in the RAF worrkshops, Loade it with Aviation fuel and it wasz SERIOUSLY FAST.
Hello great video and very helpful... I noticed that you removed the bar end and also the anti vibration weight for this install... did you have any vibration issues after removing so much weight from the bar ends? Thanks and greetings from Australia!🙂👍
The difference is huge. I own a 1976 R90/6 with 27,000 miles The Bing 64/32/11, 64/32/12 carburetors are Incredibly smooth running 900cc engine. Looks like you are having a great time with your German machine.
Content begins at 1:40 This is no way to grow a channel on RU-vid. Most views become "sticky" if the first 10 seconds connects with that viewer. The title is the invitation and some delivery on that title is needed quickly, not well past the :30 mark. Pushing a brand too early just pushes viewers away to someone who better understands this market. Also, the poor audio segment should have been replaced. Wishing you success going forwards.
Gorgeous! My first BMW was a very well-used but also well maintained 1970 R60/5 I bought from Stan's BMW in Doylestown PA in 1975. I did replace the original "Western" handlebars with R90S bars. I never restored it. I was far too busy riding it. Wish I still had it.
I had a 1971 R65 and rode around Hollywood in the '80s. Took Miss Hawaiin Tropic 1984 on a breakfast date to Norms-with her on back. Ordered 2X2X2X2 which was two bacons, two pancakes, two sausages and two eggs. She looked at the new Miss America on the cover of La Times or USA today and said, "I think she's pir-ty." Some things you never forget. I remember her holding on to me- as we rode down Ocean BLVD to the Venice Norms.
Thank you sir, lovely machine, We very much enjoyed learning about your bmw and your modest presentation style. Best Wishes from the wild West of England. Martin F and Jill
Hello. Great restoration I'm restoring a 74. Very similar model. Looking at the sturing bar looks like uncomfortable riding I had to change this bar to much wider because my elbows were pushing on my side while riding and prevented me from proper sturing Just my opinion
