I have a soft spot (in my head?) for /5's being the first big bike I rode.It was a R60/5 which a friend had on in the 70's and then buying a a R60/5 and fixing it up in the early 90's and finding out it was the same bike that my friend let me ride. Very nice bikes. Should have kept it.
Same soft spot for me! Back in 1982, my "first" airhead BMW was a 750cc
1975 R75/6 with a Windjammer fairing and matching "wedge-shaped" Windjammer hard bags. It was colored in
"UPS turd-brown!" I rode it around the USA for 6 months with two other guys....22 states + Canada and >25,000 miles, from April to August. No issues, and it performed admirably...It was totaled in a freak accident in Tempe, AZ in Nov. of 1982.
Then, with the insurance money, I bought
a "brand new", red 1983 BMW R80RT, which was my only transportation for many years.
Many Guzzisti
"POOH-POOH" the airheads for a variety of reasons, but they are comparable and reliable touring bikes, IMHO,
