The long-awaited replacements for BMW's long-running Earles-forked, flat twins finally arrived in 1969. The new "slash 5", or more commonly /5, models came in three capacities, the variation being achieved by different bore sizes in what were otherwise virtually identical machines. With 750cc (actually 745cc) the R75/5 produced a claimed 50 horsepower, which was good enough to propel it to a top speed of 110mph.

This good looking and reliable mile-eater, with just one owner since new, has relatively few kilometers on the odometer and comes with German papers.
