This video when it was released 6 years ago had a very deep impact on me. I was 18 at the time. And now i’m happy to say that I have my very own ‘71 R75/5 that I will be building. The bike is stripped and engine is out. It’s rebuild time.
I owned a 71 R 75/5 and it was such a great Bike to ride, I had it for 16 years and I put about 25 k on it, I regret selling it but if I had to do it over I would get another one with out a doubt! Hope you enjoy your experience!
This video encapsulates why I bought my airhead and my friendship with the guy who built her for me. Great video great story and a beautiful bike well done.
Oh thank you Petrolicious for doing a segment on a motorbike. Please continue to do features on motorcycles as there are many rare beautiful classic ones the world needs to know about. And my god this is a gorgeous R75 build. White silver and chrome colour scheme screams finesse and class like no other. Bravo Mr. Withers.
Good on you brother. There's something magical about creating something with your own hands for someone else that shares your enthusiasm. I watched my brother pick up a bike he had built for a friend of ours that came into a significant amount of money. Our friend was letting the completely hand built bike rust underneath a tree. My brother said, "this bike is like my child, it deserves better than this. He can have his money back."
I watched this bike come together bit by bit while I was struggling to get two airheads with sitting disease on the road. Reading the latest post every day or two was great and inspiring. I appreciate all the extra time it took to post the progress, and all the feedback from other owners and experts and even the occasional hater. I'm glad to see it on the road. I hope Shane rides the piss out of it. Mine will never look as good though. That is, not in my lifetime.
Never cared to own a bike but I respect the people that do. The romance of driving be it a bike or a car is a special connection between man and machine that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
Truly a beautiful bike, well done, it has a old school favour but in a modern way, very nice, I have always wanted to do a BMW café racer, though I wanted my exhaust pipes to go over the cylinder heads, wrapped with a very small guard to stop the burn.
Very nice and clean and free of gimmakry. I had a '76 R90/S. Sold that 15 years ago and bought a '76 Moto Guzzi V1000 I Convert. Taking that down to tiny bits currently with the aim of personalizing it. Not sure if it will really be all that "custom" but that depends on certain decisions I make. At any rate i love the bike and am retired from a career steel fabricating and figure my skill set and this bike to be a good match.
Awesome, finally an episode with bikes, this is what ive been waiting for, as good as crazy vintage supercars/sportscars are often their owners are not willing to share their stories or even bloody drive their cars, but with bikes you find the owners are often way more talkative and willing to share their story and the bikes story. Great to see you guys doing bikes, keen to see more!
Great video, great guy! Love these kind of people who dedicate a good amount of time to create something wonderful by theyr own. You can't put a price on that!
I am a fan since his blue R75 on Motorcycle classic magazine introduced. I want to imitate his R75 because his blue R75 was so beutiful and attracted me. Thanks Josh!
I have yet to see a Petrolicious video that is less than absolutely perfect.

Josh, I think that the work done on that bike was no less than increidible, congratulations and keep on the good work, perhaps some day I will make a question or two if possible.
I just discovered this site, this was the first video I watched. Beautiful bike, I love the sound of a smooth running twin, I'm not a Harley hater but that split fork rod design just isn't for me. Never had much money growing up so I rode what I could afford to fix, BMW's seemed to be always just a little fatter than my wallet. For years I rode a 1980 Kawasaki KZ 750 Twin I bought brand new (an upgrade from the Honda 400 I had), I really liked this bike, torquey and reliable, it was one of the last twins made, the 750 4 cylinders had already been introduced and they had stopped making the twins. To this day I regret having sold it.
What a nice build. Keep it up. The more airheads you save from the heap the better. They are special. I have to say Guzzis too. Check out an old v7, lemans or Eldorado. Really cool.

Same here. I've been more of a car guy and used to seeing Harley's and sportbikes but when I seen a BMW airhead I fell in love. Working on an r90/6.
Awesome, that's my dream too!
How did that work out

@@justinbeech2681why did you sell it?
Very nicely done. Thanks for the video. My 1970 BMW R60/5 that I've had for 50 years is still just like brand new.
This channel is about capturing man&machine kind of passion. Cars or motorcycles does not matter. Great bit.

this is a masterpiece from skillful mechanic and designer....
people like this man do not get the credit they deserve.. top build, keep it up.☺
Almost 5 years after and I'm still watching this video. Awesome!
:)
Mr. Withers... that´s a beautiful motorcycle and lovely story. Thank you. My time was not wasted at all watching your story.
Thanks Robert!
outstanding rolling work of art 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎🧰🧰🧰🧰🧰⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽🛵🛵🛵🛵
Talent always comes out unfolding beauty, thankyou.
And with power and handling to match the incredible looks. This is the classiest motorcycle I have ever seen!
Thanks. I wish it lived closer to me. It is by far m favorite build.

the amount of detail on the bike is amazing, great job.
HELL YES. Old bikes are such romantic machines
Wunderbare Maschine.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I just love him individually when he said it's like a children raised for some time & should give it to someone!!💐
Beautiful build...and that road looks like a BLAST to ride!
This is the best toaster I have ever seen. I cried while watching this video. Perfect!
wow. amazing hobby. makes me want to do something like this!
Eric Scher I'll include tissues on my next build... thanks for the compliments!
I understand this is a car channel. More motorcycle videos, Thanks.
Dont get mistake man..., is a motorart channel
What a stupid comment.
This bike is just a piece of art ...and the builder is an artist

wow. attention to detail is spot on
this channel speaks to me...........and explains how gear heads think and feel
This is what hard work paying off looks like. Absolutely stunning build!
Love the clunk of the perfectly placed downshift at 5:00 or so. Damn I miss mine!
Never cared to own a bike but I respect the people that do. The romance of driving be it a bike or a car is a special connection between man and machine that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
Absolutely beautiful BMW ._.._you have done a fantastic job with this bike josh, iso enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing .
Fantastic custom bike! I think BMW should get together with Josh Withers and put this design into production - I'd love one please. Well done Josh!
every Petrolicious video fills me up with an immense, fiery love for all things automotive, it's fantastic
Amazing - clean and neat motorbike! Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm! 😍😍😍😍😍
WOW! Josh that is a work of art, and I wouldn't change a single thing... except I'd make it mine!
MyRod.com Thanks! That bike came out so good that I want to build another for myself. -Josh
Kudos.. job well done. Any airhead guy would be honored to have that in his garage.
Beautiful bike. Congratulations to both the builder and the new owner.
Love your art by the way Josh. prächtig.
Gracias Petrolicius... por tanta belleza
Outstanding BMW Cafe. Beautiful sound and artistic design. Simple by design. I am a true airhead.
Fabulous looking bike... Great story. Good job, Josh Withers!
THAT is the sharpest toaster-tank I have ever seen. What great work. And I agree, The garage is The place.
This channel is about the relationship and passion between man and machine. Motorcycle or car, it doesn't matter.
My dad and I both have a love for motorcycles... I hope that never changes :)
An absolutely gorgeous bike, love this channel.
Man, Petrolicious, no one even comes close! Another excellent video!
Great looking beemer and very nice videoa, thanks to share it. Our summer is just over and I miss it , please come soon.
Truly a beautiful bike, well done, it has a old school favour but in a modern way, very nice, I have always wanted to do a BMW café racer, though I wanted my exhaust pipes to go over the cylinder heads, wrapped with a very small guard to stop the burn.

I need a good welder and metal guy... until my skills improve.

Listen the sound in the curves when it makes poppop a few times and next curve again, fantastic that´s real and no fake at all, pretty nice!
Best part of my week. Coming home on a tuesday, loading up UA-cam and catching the latest video from Petrolicious.
Great video, great guy! Love these kind of people who dedicate a good amount of time to create something wonderful by theyr own. You can't put a price on that!
Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week because of these short films. Thank you Petrolicious. If you're ever in Utah let me know. Drinks on me.
Utterly gorgeous.
Gotta love that beautiful early BMW 02 he has in the garage! The boxer sound from that bike is just awesome...
What an outstanding and gorgeous caferacer, just beautiful! more please :)
Oh my God! This is the most beautiful bike I've ever seen!!!!!!!!
Motorcycles on Petrolicious!?!? Dream do come true! These videos are so well done it is mind-boggling. More motorcycles pretty please.
I honestly shed a tear... Best one yet!!
What dedication and virtuosity. Super.
This road is amazing.
Amazing machine. Cheers from Barcelona master
Cheers!
Love the simple but effective details on this machine, especially those wires. Borrani alloy-rims, maybe?
Akront Rims
Nice paint design
You did a good job. Bike looks great.
Shane,
I think it came out super!
Now you have to choose between the 356 or the /5 !
What a dilemma.
Cheers,
Norm Miller

Katsunori Ito Thanks!!
Stunning bike, very cool.

Manuel Martínez Ruíz del Hoyo Hit me up anytime. I'm happy to help.
Another job well done in both video and craftsmanship.
I'm not into bikes at all, but after watching this bike ... pure perfection!
Brilliant ,every single one ,best UA-cam Chanel .
Beautiful art
Every time! You guys nail it every time!
Santa Monica Mts and Malibu! I like seeing places I live nearby.
great video!! that is my dream to build cafe racer on my free time
That is a beautiful machine.
Just saw your work for the first time and you do amazing work!
King. 🙌🏻
Another fantastic video!

What a nice build. Keep it up. The more airheads you save from the heap the better. They are special. I have to say Guzzis too. Check out an old v7, lemans or Eldorado. Really cool.
I've been thinking about a V7 or Lemans. Not cheap though. Airheads seem to be a bit more affordable.
Amazing episode. Thanks!
What a great bike absolutely perfect it's beautiful i want it to keep for the rest of my life
Beautiful is the only word to describe this.
I love that a vid was about a vintage bike more please
Watching the bike episodes of petrolicious is the best feeling .. Iam restoring mine too.. Enfield 200 or ei200 aka mini bulllet
Gorgeous++ and a great little movie
I could watch an hour of these videos.
Top, et ça roule très bien. 👍👍
Your videos are superb!!
UA-cam must give you an award or something..
I saw a Vespa there!! I have finish restoring mine this summer, just in time to enjoy the summer
Beautiful bike. Great job!
Passion, well spoken.
Oh my, you guys now even have motorcycles in your shows. I'm so glad I've subscribed this channel
just beautiful, love the way the bike sounds too!
That's a stunning bike!
Something about piano, a great story, and a motorcycle being ridden just makes for a beautiful video. (sigh)
When the custom rebuilt bike looks substantially better than the original bike, then you know it's a winner.
Wow! Amazing bike, amazing video... cheers from Canada
Perfect, absolutely perfect.
