Summary
This 1972 BMW R75/5 was stored for decades before being acquired by the seller in 2024, who then repainted the bodywork in red with white pinstripes, tuned the carburetors, changed the oil, and replaced the tires and chrome fuel tank and side cover panels. The bike features a 745cc opposed-twin engine, a four-speed transmission, and an odometer showing 56k miles.
