Black, This one has panniers, engine bars, heated grips and handguards. In the late 1960s, the BMW lured Hans-Gunther von der Marwitz from Porsche and gave him the job of re-inventing the boxer twins. Thus was born the â€slash†series of BMW boxers, the /5, /6 and /7s. Von der Marwitz’s basic design was so good it was still found in the last â€airhead†BMW’s sold as late as 1996. Though von der Marwitz retained the opposed-twin engine layout, he completely revised its internals, using a one-piece forged crank with car-type plain bearings (with connecting rods from the 6-cylinder car engine). The camshaft moved below the crank driven by chain, not gears. A handsome aluminum casting that also formed the crankcase housed the alternator and other ancillaries. A car-type clutch and flywheel mounted to the crankshaft drove a four-speed gearbox with final drive naturally by shaft. And gone were the Earles forks, replaced by telescopic units. Mileage is 36,943, please note the speedo will be showing in km. It is not a restricted bike and will be full power. The bike will be serviced and come with 12 month’s MOT.
