1972 BMW R75/5 Toaster SWB - (An Old Pony)

May 7th, 2012 - Just added this short wheel base R75/5 to the stable. We were able to negotiate a pretty good deal earlier this morning out in Pomona, CA. The bike clocks in at about 55,000 miles (original) and has not been ridden or registered since 1981. The one owner bike was a tourer and comes with a Wixom / BMW fairing and rear luggage. Engine turned over smoothly, loosing compression on the right cylinder. Toaster tank is superb with factory red-lining inside the tank and the headlight bucket / speedo has been protected all these years by the fairing. Restoration will begin this fall and hopefully we’ll be able to find an owner by the beginning of 2013.
