Çocukluğumda kullandığım ve hiç unutamadığım rahmeti abimin motosikleti. İstanbul da emekli bir albaya satmıştı. Ne yazık ki ömürboyu sahip olamayacağım harika bir motosiklet.
@@dennisgreene5055 When I was young the slash 5 was new, the 500 cc was for about 3600, the 600 cc for about 4200 and the 750 cc for about 5000. Those were the prices back then for new bikes. My actual 1000 cc I bought used for around 4 ...
I was 15 when my step-father bought one. I had a mini bike. I used to sneak it out, pick up my girlfriend, and we would ride all over on that thing. It was so quiet I could sneak it out easily. Was a great bike, could wheelie a bit if you power shifted into second gear. Had a bit of wriggle due to driveshaft and wonky forks. Tranny made a head turning clunk into first in close traffic. Fond memories. Yours has a click! Clack on left side….valve adjustment?
I have one too... just got from a friend who passed away... So how do you turn the motor off? let me know... nice bike. I Race Honda's at Bonneville and and have Harley for years, but this BMW I cannot figure out!
Depends on the year. If it's a 1973 or earlier it should have a black knob on the top of the headlight, which is the key, ignition switch and light switch. Pushed it down (flush with the headlight bucket) to turn it on, twist it left or right to get lights, pull it up to turn the ignition off, and pull it all the way out to secure the bike. I think all BMWs from the 50s-1973 use the exact same key.
i KICK MYSELF FOR SEELLING MY 72 R75/5. I bought it in 74 in Los Vegas when I was stationed at Nellis AFB. Rode it for the next 20 years. over 100K miles never a problem. Ony did normal maintenance, oil, filters, valve adj. new tires every so often. Got to the point in my life that I wasn't riding it much and I let it go to aa guy that loved it and rode it. Wish I had it now that I'm retired and have time for those long cross county trips that the R75 /5 was so great a partner on...Mine had the shorter wheelbase than the later mdls so much fun zippin along the winding country/mountain roads of the western states.
What a stunner! 🤩

Piękny motór. Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱.
Still had the kick start in 71 I don't think they quit that until 74 or 75 ? Killer Bike!
The kickstarter was still available on the 2-arm swingarm models until at least 1983. However, the later BMWs could not be reliably started with it
The kick starter became an extra cost option with the /6 series.
Beautiful machine
Back then my dream ... 5000 bucks new ... unreachable ...
I bought one for$2000].new such a great ride home!
mine was 2000 new did you mean 5000 now? You can find them for less than 5

I bought my 73 R75/5 SHB brand new in 73 for 2300 cash. You got mightily ripped off if you paid 5000@@moc6897

Beautiful example. Just needs authentic mufflers (with VERY tapered ends )and rear shock covers.
Nice.👍👍

This bike has an upgraded ignition system. I have 2, 73 toasters, and a 66, r60/2
cold start with pinging valves let it sound like a land-tractor, hi ... I have an '82 R65....
Is it hard to kick start?
cool.
What is the price in your country?
This is worth about $4,500 USD. I sold this motorcycle last year.
Ah when I get rich I'm buying this bike
Das war noch ein Motorrad...
Great ❤
Is this bike for sale??
No, it was sold last year.
It needs the valves adjusted!
Tappets!
One of them's pretty noisy, that's for sure, but as they say with these things, "if you can't hear them, you're in trouble".
German Bike cool.
