What is it about these old boxers that make me want to roam… It’s funny how motorcycles can pull you in so many different emotional directions. A picture like this almost makes me want to buy one LOL..

This beauty is a high mileage rider (96k) that I would drive across
country tomorrow. Frame up restoration in ’85. Oil changed and valves
checked religiously. Enduro bags, Denfeld solo, S fairing, large
tank,Brown side stand, and bar ends. Various bumps and knicks that
accompany a rider. Starts second kick, and will draw much attention
wherever you go. Rear fender recently painted in Ohio (glasurit), so
color match is no problem. Will crate for shipment on this continent
only.
Price: 10,000
Location: Rhode Island

Reader submittal. Beautiful BMW R5 1/3.
Reader Brian bold send in this beauty of an E-bay build. Rolling Sculpture!
This was an ebay find and I knew that the headlight and tank were worth more then my final bid. No one else seemed to feel it was worth more, so it was mine.
Since it was delivered I have taken it down to its major parts, had the frame powdercoated, found a new front and rear render. The tank is next to get attention.
I have added the Hoske pipes, not knowing if they were ever intended for the /3 plunger frame I had to make us some brackets. The SS1 Dellortos were also and ebay purchase, one of the seemingly impossible finds that may not see another pair for some time. The seats are new reproductions, the valve covers are from either a single or R51/2. The engine is interesting in that instead of the standard 68mm bore, there are 72mm pistons on a standard stroke crank.
Thanks much for the pics! Looks to be a real beauty.
