Hey all!

I just put a deposit, and am arranging transport, of a 1975 R60/6 that's currently located near Erieville, NY.

It's a single owner, female owned, really clean, white bike with a Parabellum Scout fairing with a tall touring screen. Very well maintained with about 250k miles. I'll receive it in August, so as you can imagine, I'm doing a lot of research...

If you are also an MOA member, the listing can be seen here.

Welcome aboard!  My first serious exposure to BMW motorcycles was a college friend with a white R60/5. Made me very curious - a very strange (compared to my Suzuki) but very handsome, well built machine. The seed was planted. That’s a very nice R60 you have found. That’s also some kind of special (police issue, perhaps?) front fender. Someone here in the club will know what that fender is. 

Long Beach CA is where I first saw “The Spruce Goose” quite a few years back.  Was working for a company in the Chicago area, assigned to a big project in Pico Rivera. Turns out, it was the development of the B2 stealth bomber by Northrup. Of course, all of that was hidden from us conractors.
