The Flagship Boxer, 1972 BMW R75/5

Introduced in 1970, BMW's /5 series marked a clean break from the company's prewar-rooted boxer design, bringing a new frame, telescopic forks, a 12-volt electrical system, and both kick and electric starters. The R75/5 was the flagship of the line, the model that helped drag BMW into the modern superbike era of the 1970s. This example pairs the 745cc boxer twin with dual Bing carburetors and a four-speed gearbox, finished in silver with black pinstripes. Showing 51k miles, it's a well-presented example of the bike that reestablished BMW's motorcycle reputation. It's now live on Bring A Trailer! #bmw #r75 #bringatrailer
