1975 | BMW R 90/6

BMW R 90/6 (1975) – styled as R 90 S | Largely original | Well-maintained classic

Due to lack of space, this exceptionally well-preserved 1975 BMW R 90/6 is now being offered for sale. The bike has been visually upgraded to resemble the iconic R 90 S. With another historically significant BMW added to the collection in winter 2024/25, space has finally become an issue – hence the reluctant sale.

This classic motorcycle is in beautiful, largely original condition and shows only around 37,000 km on the odometer – approximately 5,000 of which were added by the current owner. Originally delivered in Germany, it saw very little use over the years before being imported to Austria in 2019 and registered as a historic vehicle.

Key features:

• Original German-delivered vehicle
• Visually upgraded to R 90 S specification
• Rare aluminium rims (factory option at the time)
• Dual front disc brakes – excellent braking performance

Technical condition & maintenance:

The BMW has been well looked after and regularly maintained:

• New diode board
• Carburetors cleaned via ultrasound, resealed (incl. diaphragm), synchronized in 2024
• New rear brake pads (2024)
• Brake fluid changed (2024)
• Oil and filters changed every two years
• Speedometer overhauled by Moserronic in 2024
• Starter overhauled by Bosch service
• New battery (2024)
• Left handlebar switch unit replaced with a factory-new part in 2020

Additional notes:

• Tires in good condition
• Fairing removed (left inner mount damaged – repairable, included if desired)
• Luggage rack removed for aesthetic reasons – can also be included
• Many original parts preserved (e.g., frame paint, foot pegs)
• Still registered with Austrian interchangeable plates – test rides possible in the Carinthia area
• Mileage may increase slightly due to regular use

This BMW R 90/6 is a true piece of motorcycling history with the looks of the R 90 S – ideal for collectors and riders alike. It starts instantly, runs smoothly, and is ready for many more years of riding pleasure.

Optional at no extra cost: fairing and luggage rack

We hope this special bike finds a new owner who will enjoy it as much as we have.
