Description

For sale is a very clean 1971 BMW /5 with an R90S engine and 5-speed transmission. It was built to retain the classic good looks of the early airheads with upgrades in every important area. It's fast, andles wonderfully, nd starts conversations everywhere I take it. The bike has dual-disc Brembo brakes in the front with stainless steel lines for greatly improved braking, rogressive suspension front springs, an Jose BMW braced rear swing arm for high-speed stability, alogen headlight, ikuni carbs, MW euro sidecar bars, nd brand new battery and fork oil; all other fluids changed, alves adjusted, nd the spline lubed 2,000 miles ago.
It's my daily rider and I've taken it on multiple long weekend trips and it's never given me a problem. Starts every time, hifts smoothly, ust as it should. Always professionally serviced.
Being a 40-year old bike, t's not perfect. The speedo, ach, nd odometer stopped working last summer; Rick at Overseas Speedometer quoted me at $275 to have it fixed. Odometer read 22,000 when it stopped (about another 2,000 have been put on it since), hough I believe the engine to have much less. It also may needcylinder base gaskets (they go for about $10).Paint, hile very nice (the tank, enders, nd side covers were repainted about a year ago), sn't perfect on the frame, hich shows a few minor chips.

I hate to see it go, ut at 5'8" and 130 lbs, 've come to the conclusion that it's just a bit too much bike for me. Clean title in my name and ready to be transferred. Please feel free to message with any questions. Local bidders are welcome to come check it out in person.
