This 1975 BMW R60/6 was acquired by the seller as a project in 2020, and subsequent work included fitting custom bodywork, LED lights, custom mufflers, RFY piggyback shocks, a vertical license plate bracket, and a scrambler seat. The bike is powered by a 599cc opposed twin paired with a five-speed transmission and finished in blue and silver with blue pinstripes and chrome side covers. This R60/6 is now offered at no reserve with a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
The bike features custom bodywork that is finished in blue and silver with blue pinstripes in addition to chrome side covers. Additional equipment includes a scrambler seat, an axle-mounted vertical license bracket, custom mufflers, a side stand, and LED lights.
Alloy rims measuring 19″ up front and 18″ at the rear were mounted with Shinko tires in February 2024. Suspension is handled by a leading-axle fork with black accordion gaiters as well as a pair of RFY piggyback shocks mounted to the swingarm on the left and the final drive enclosure on the right. Braking is from drums at both ends.
Instrumentation consists of a 140-mph MotoMeter speedometer, a matching tachometer with a 7,100-rpm redline, and a column of indicator lamps. The five-digit odometer shows 30k miles, 3k of which have been ridden by the seller. The throttle cables are near the end of their adjustment.
The 599cc opposed twin was factory rated at 40 horsepower, and work in February 2023 included cleaning and balancing the carburetors, adjusting the valves and ignition timing, fitting an electronic ignition module, replacing the battery, and changing the engine, gearbox, and final drive oils.
Power is sent to the rear wheel through a single-plate dry clutch, a five-speed gearbox, and a driveshaft enclosed within the right leg of the swingarm.
