For more than 30 years I am connected with the restoration of classic BMW motorcycles. After restoring R25, R51/3 and R50/5 I logically came to the restoration of R75 Wehrmachtsgespanne and started to collect spares and information. In those days the R75-owners were a very small group of collectors who were not interested in passing any information or technical knowledge. Original spare parts were not sold but traded and replica parts were scares.
This has been my fifth total ground up restoration in just under five years. With all of my other bikes (1976 Honda CB550F, 1968 R50/2, 1959 R26, 1976 R90S) my goal was to do as close to a Factory perfect restoration as I could. I really wanted to do something different with this bike. So I decided to build something special. More of a Phactory perfect restoration!! :-)
