The /5 series, introduced in 1969, were
the first of the modern BMWs, with the R75
the largest of the new models, and the first
750cc machine BMW had built since the war.
The /5 machines have a four speed gearbox,
twin leading shoe eight inch front brakes,
and a fuel capacity of 5.27 gallons (24
litres) and 50+ mpg . The 1973 model has
an extended swing arm designed to overcome
criticism of the original high speed handling
(ie. the LWB – Long Wheel Base). The
/5s were the last of the hand-built BMWs,
reflected in their price in this country
when new, more than a top of the range VW
Beetle. |
