Unexpected Bobber – 1973 BMW R75/5 Custom

In Cruiser, Custom, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

Built with “no expense spared”, this bike started as a numbers matching R75/5 and now it’s…you tell me.

Features include Harley springer front forks, a de-tabbed frame, leather solo seat, peanut tank off an undisclosed V-twin, custom steel rear fender, sissy bar, rebuilt motor that’s been bumped up to 900cc, rebuilt transmission, custom exhaust, Motogadget switchgear, rebuilt wheels, Acewell speedo, rebuilt carbs, and plenty more. The electric starter was removed so it’s kickstart only.

The seller weirdly makes a death threat in his listing if you try to scam him, but I guess you have to be a bit of an oddball to build this bike in the first place. If you’re also crazy and want to buy this bike for yourself, find this slash 5 bobber for sale here on Craigslist in Aptos, California for $6,500.
