"HIya!


 Well, it has finally come to pass, that I must sell my cute 1971 BMW R75/5 Short Wheelbase Motorcycle.


 Let's see if I can get this straight, as it has been a hundred years since I actually ran this thing; that was when I bought it!

 OK, firstly, I gotta say that it breaks my heart to have to sell this, but everything's gotta go.


 
 When I bought this, I really wanted to hear it run, as well as wanting a pink slip; that is, as title, in the seller's name.

well, picky old me. i guess that I was supposed to fork over my cash, and then go looking for documentation.



So, I do have all the paperwork, in my name, including a Planned Non-Operation Certificate; no small item in Kalifornia, the Great State of.



 The long and short of this is, this is an unfinished piece of artwork.


Yes, it is a complete bike, except maybe for a few tiny bits of wiring, say, as the previous owner had an ignition switch installed in the fiberglass toolbox, hidden under the seat.

The motor is a stock 750 cc, which ran well, and I have kept it inside these past millenia, and kicked it over by hand frequently,  having put preservative oil into the cylinders.

 I recently replaced all the fluids, including engine, transmission, drive shaft, rear end and the front forks. These latter also have new rubber boots.

 This is the model which has a headlight shell that includes a combination speedometer and tachometer; both of which work.


 Please, look over the photos to see what you are bidding on. Also notice that the tank, handlebars, etc. are not really attached; they were just placed on the bike for the photos. Everything needs bolting together. The rest of the story follows:


 I previously had an older BMW R60/2, one of the black models, to which one can mount a sidecar. I loved that old bike, and went cross country several times upon it. It never failed me, although having a primitive 6 volt electrical system, but there was a Bosch magneto for ignition, so even in Mexico it was a delight, if slow-ish.

Fast forward a few years, and I have a worn older model, and this interesting 750, with an electric stater, plus the kick starter, with a 12 volt system. I then find out that one can easily swap the earlier engine and transmission.......with NO ALTERATIONS!


wow! So, that went well indeed. A fun, relatively easy project, except for the broken back part...my back that is.  Also, I never got that sidecar.  AARRRRGGGH!


Well, forward a few more years, and I realize that I have 2 motorcycles, neither of which is stock nor complete, so, you guessed it:

I swapped them back.

Now, this one is whole, and is about to put sunshine in someone else's life.



 I do have pipes for this puppy, but, as I remember, the mufflers for it were NOT stock, as in loud. Never was an issue, as I never rode it. You get to decide. I believe that they were MCM brand; basically megaphones.


 Anyhoo, please excuse most of the poor photos; they were taken in my cellar, and I could not get them as good as the few shots taken outside, of the fuel tank, which, by the way, is the larger model.

Please also notice the lousy paint job. Not guilty. I got it that way. I was told that it was a PPG Ditzler metallic Epoxy from their catalog. Hmmm.  I am only responsible for the bubble and concrete stains on the front fender. First one was from a lamp placed too close; latter from mixing 380 bags of cement for a new cellar floor.

Another issue, or not:

 Note the items sitting on the seat, in one photo. They are the black epoxy-coated front cover, starter cover, and fiberglass side (battery) covers. Tasteful, eh?  "Black goes with Everything!" my Mom used to say.


So, don't expect to just jump on this scooter, and ride off into the sunset. It will require some assembly. The engine, transmission and rear end are all together, as is front end.

 As I remember, this one had an excellent clutch. I know that I at least pulled it to check. I had several spare clutch plates re-lined, finding that it was much cheaper to have a batch of 3 done at once. Not rocket science. I believe that it was Oakland clutch that did them.


So, if you do actually bid on this, please understand that it is a legally binding offer to buy, and I will require a non-refundable deposit by paypal for $500.  If you do not contact me within 3 days of winning the auction, I will re-list this, call you a bad name, and tell ebay that you are a bad person.


I will require you to pay the remainder within 7 days maximum, and please remember that then is NOT the time to do an inspection!


 I do allow pre-purchase inspections, and am very flexible as to when, but realize that I am in the boondocks of Santa Cruz county, South of San Jose, and would need to meet you somewhere to drive up here. Just shoot me an email through ebay.


 Thanks for looking at my BMW R75/5 SWB!"

I am no BMW guy, what is with that wheelbase? Did it COME that way? It frankly looks broken with the rear wheel that far in.

The /5's started in 1970 (in the US at least) with a short wheelbase.  Before too long people noticed that they were prone to tankslappers, especially bikes with aftermarket fork-mounted fairings, which were pretty common.  Around '72 (I think) they added about 3" to the wheelbase by welding an extension to the swingarm.  By '73 they were manufacturing the longer swingarms so they no longer had the welds in them.  The added wheelbase solved the tankslapper problem but at the cost of less crisp handling.

That's pretty much it.
They took a nice bike and wrecked it and want someone to pay extra for it
