Did a little BMW fishing and may have caught a dead one.....From the photos it looks like a 1974 model R75/6.......I see alloy turn signals on the dis embodied fairing so if they are original it should be a 1974 model. Also appears to have the older style control switches. Has some bazaar looking handlebar risers, but can't really tell from the photo....Sitting out in the snow with the engine apart isn't good. Looks like its' been laying there for quite some time. I wouldn't mind a spare small fuel tank and I could make it black. Hopefully the gear box is in usable condition. If it is a 1974 model it should have a kick start transmission. Might be some decent parts still aboard? Kind of wanted to experiment with using an 18" rear rim on the front of my /5.(?) I was told if the spline hub was removed the rear wheel could go up front. That would fit the /2 US fender better.
Appears to have an old Vetter fairing which aren't worth anything but it does have a pair of alloy signals on it. The owner is in Co. so we'll connect up in the near future. Don't have a price yet....it will have to be pretty cheap......
Poor old thing.......kind of a shame.........
Was hoping to find a pre 1974 model but if it's cheap I'll haul it home just to give it a decent burial.....
