1976 BMW R75/6 – 16,924 Original Miles – Second Owner Since 1976 – Excellent Original Example
Offered for sale is a beautifully preserved 1976 BMW R75/6 that has been with its second owner since September 18, 1976, when it was purchased as a nearly new motorcycle. Built in March 1976, this exceptionally well-maintained Airhead shows just 16,924 original miles and remains an outstanding example of BMW’s legendary boxer twin.
The owner is a retired enthusiast in Carson City, Nevada, who has cared for the motorcycle for decades. The engine is described as being in top mechanical condition, while the frame and overall presentation reflect careful ownership throughout its life.
Powered by BMW’s dependable 745cc air-cooled horizontally opposed twin-cylinder engine, the R75/6 features dual Bing carburetors, a smooth-shifting 5-speed transmission, electric starter, manual choke, and shaft drive. Known for reliability and comfortable touring, these motorcycles are among the most desirable classic BMW Airheads.
Features Include
Whether you’re looking for a dependable vintage tourer, an investment-grade Airhead, or simply one of the cleanest R75/6 motorcycles available, this is a rare opportunity to purchase a highly original, low-mileage example with nearly 50 years of documented long-term ownership.
This version reads more like a premium collector listing and emphasizes the story—which is often what buyers of classic BMWs are really purchasing.
