Dr Volt's New BMW

Dr Volts has a new blue motorcycle. Well, new for him. This one is a 1975 BMW R90/6. Its a one owner bike, bought new in 1975.

It runs

Rumour has it that the good Doctor has put 1000 miles on it.

After a wash

This is Dr Volt's new BMW after its been washed. It cleaned up fairly well. He swapped gas tanks, the "as is" photos below show the touring tank (nice to have two).

As found photos

These are "as is" photos. We've done nothing to clean it up. We haven't even straightented out the mirrors. Its a "basement find" which is similar to the proverbial 'barn find', but this was in a nice, dry basement. This R90/6 has been in this basement since 1985.
