With over 100,000 km and many smooth quiet day trips, it's been very reliable and a pleasure to drive. Mountains are a challenge as speed drops on the steep hills, and parts are sometimes only available by special order from germany, but that goes with any vintage ride. I found a Luftmeister fairing and original bags for it and have done many a road trip with buds. Always a conversation piece wherever I stop... maybe unique looking, and certainly not a performance machine, but that's not what interests me... I hope you enjoy every minute on your classic machine. Ron I too own a 76 r60/6 and love it. With over 100,000 km and many smooth quiet day trips, it’s been very reliable and a pleasure to drive.

Went to the army on it in '77. Still ride one today. Extremely reliable and tough. A bike to be proud of. Have been riding R60/6 bikes since 1977. Went to the army on it in ’77. Still ride one today.

I bought my son's when he upgraded to a later model BMW airhead. I rode his 76' R60/6 for one weeks 'solid' riding from Victoria BC to Crescent City CA. The bike was great and was a head turner almost every day. We went 1600 miles and I could have done twice the distance without any discomfort. I like it so much I bought the bike and now I look forward to many mile more in the days ahead. Roll on Airheads ! These are great bikes.

It looks wonderful. I wish mine were in as good condition. I have a 1973 Moto-Guzzi Eldorado 850, which I bought new when I was in the Navy. I put 90,000 miles on it the first 3 years, since I had no other transportation and was stationed in Florida. Since then I have only put on another 50,000. Considering the miles it isn't bad, but the pipes need chrome, the pin-striping is almost gone, and the shine is off the black paint. In all that time it only took $700 in parts to keep it going. I hope you have as much fun with and get as many miles out of your Beamer as I did my Guzzi. Anthony, I see you stripped the bike down. It looks wonderful. I wish mine were in as good condition.
