- This is the 13th video on the "Vintage beauties" list. In this video Tomaž showed me his BMW from the 70s. What a bike, what an experience... This is the R60/6 from 1976. It is a classic. It is a boxer, an air-cooled BMW boxer. I was amazed by the 1970s style and beauty that I saw there that day. Finally we checked the sound... The R60/6. Why is it so special? You can find out in this video. Enjoy.

I didn't get into BMW's until 1983 in which I bought a new R80RT. I then moved into a almost new 1986 R80RT. They were great machine's & I miss riding them. That blue 1976 sure look's beautiful. If I could get into a time machine, I would go back to the 1970's in a heartbeat. I don't need all of the different stuff that they load these bikes up with today. All I need is my own skill's to operate the machine. P.S. I did however own a 1976 750cc Suzuki water buffalo which I purchased brand new. Have a beautiful day & thank you for the video!!

Great comment Larry. In the 70s and 80s it was all about riding. Today it is a lot different. Bikes are more or less tech bombs and sometimes you just don't find the way to use everything that you have. As I see you had some very good and nice bikes. I would also like "to travel in time"... far back in the 70s. :) The Kawasaki Z1 was wonderful. :) Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Much appreciated.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace Funny that you mentioned that Kawasaki Z1 because I was deciding at that time whether to buy the water buffalo or the Kawasaki 900 & I chose the wrong one. SHIT!!
@@larrywade9041 Aha, but finally you had fun also with that one? :)
Very nice , I think Elspeth Beard went round the world on one of those . Cheers mate
Thanks my friend. These machines were really nice in the 70s and 80s. A keeper in my opinion.
Prava klasika.
Se strinjam.
I still prefer the styling of the 70s machines compared to modern bikes. Amazing how many years BMW have been using a boxer engine. Lovely looking bike
The 70s styling has a lot of charm nowadays. I like it too. Their Boxer is a masterpiece. Thanks for tuning in bro. Appreciate it.
Big like 👍 16
Thanks bro for sharing with us a very interesting and beautiful BMW ❤
Amazing bike 🏍
Stay safe out there
Have a great week 💕
Thanks bro. I agree with you. It is a nice machine. :)
When I first saw it, I thought this motorbike was the BMW R nine T, but it turns out that this BMW R60/6 motorbike really deserves to be really special. The retro appearance makes this motorbike vintage and legendary in its day. Thank you for sharing a rare motorbike, Looks brand new and great sound..I enjoy watching your videos
I agree bro. It looks very stylish and this blue color is just amazing. No electronics on this one and that is cool. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it. Take care bro.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace What you said is true, very stylish and blue color is my favorite, that's why I was fascinated to see it. Having no electronics is what makes this bike special
@@AbdulsCycles Exactly bro. The mechanical cruise control is also very interesting. :)
Beautiful blue color, Gregor...of course I may be a bit partial to that shade of blue!
That blue has the strength to attract. :) I like it too. I am glad that you are back. You had nice trip and I can expect some interesting stuff from you and Tommy. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace well thank you so much! We're working on stuff lol
@@PurpleOnThree Thanks Jody. I am heading home from Bosnia. New videos will be ready. In the evening will premier one, one of the vintage beauties...
I still occasionally see them for sale. They always catch my eye but I never knew anything about them until now.
Here I also see some, but not a lot of them. They look timeless in my opinion. Thanks mate, appreciate your support.
What... we had adjustable steering in 1976😮
The seat/saddle looks very inviting 😅😅
Yes, exactly, it had it. Harder/softer. :) The seat offers a huge comfort. If one wouldn't agree, I would suggest to find a similar one with more comfort. I would say, a mission impossible in my opinion.
Thank you for making this video. There are too few videos of the R60/6 model. I’m very fortunate to have 2 of them, both 1974 models. My original, in black, is awaiting restoration and a second, unrestored but in near mint condition and in Monza blue as seen in this video.
You are welcome. This is a very 70s bike and I like it as such. The blue color makes it fresh and attractive in my opinion. Can check my other videos on the "Vintage beauties" playlist and subscribe if you feel so. There will be more. Take care.
I also have a R 60/6 1974 in the curry color. 100 percent original very nice bike.
It indeed is a beautiful bike. Keep it in this great condition and enjoy every ride with it.
Thanks for watching. I agree. A wonderful bike. The owner is my friend. Feel free to check my other videos and sub if you feel so. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. Ride safe.
Such a beautiful bike. Truly beautiful!
I totally agree RJ. A keeper. Thanks mate.
I remember growing up, i hated the look of boxer motor but it has changed, i like them now😊
They look robust, big and heavy, but in fact they ride just the opposite. I like them a lot. 15 years ago I wasn't so sure of that. You are right bro. Thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it.
I bought one, totally original and very hard to get them in original condition any more.
Beautiful bmw that one Gregor 👍👍
I like it too Derek. Thanks for watching. Will be more. Cheers.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace thank you 👍👍🙏
*_My Brother bought exakt this Bike on 7. April 1976 and he own it till today. Greetings from Bavaria / Germany._*
I believe you. These are machines that just ruj and run. He should keep it. Thanks for taking the time bro. You can check the R50 also. In black 👍🤪
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this wonderful and very interesting video my friend ❤️🥰
Many thanks. :)
This is Great! That is a great looking bike! It is in such great condition for a bike produced in 1976. I really like the blue color also. Great video Gregor!!
Cheers!
I like it too. A true classic. :) Thanks for taking the time William. Can check also one of the oldest bikes ever... I uploaded it recently.
BMW R60... and now we're about to see the BMW R1300 and still the boxer engine rules👍🏾
The BMW boxer is already a trademark right now. You are right. In the new R1300 there will still be a boxer. This is now somehow traditionally I would say. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace hey, if it's not broken... no need to fix or change anything.
Sehr schöne Maschine.👍👍👍👍
Ja, ich bin vollkommen einverstanden.Thanks for watching. Appreciate it.
It is simply an amazing looking bike bro. 👍👍👍
Thanks Roberto. I think the same. This is how the BMWs were in the 70s. :)
Fantastic work, I missed it when it came out and just found it! Thank you for sharing 🎉🙏🙏🙏
Thanks bro. I am glad that you like it a lot. :) There will be more. One of this kind is coming soon and it is a lot older than this one.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace wow, I can't wait! I always wanted a old R80 gs like my hero Sam manicom, I almost got one in January then I realised it was just so expensive for parts and I couldn't afford to fix it up so I abandoned it for the CX 500. Take care and stay safe 🙏🙏
@@quinnpeaksbiker It is not a BMW, but something very different and rare. :) For now it is a secret. Thanks for sharing your story. You too, take care bro.
great looking bike
Thanks mate, I agree.
What a beauty! Top job RRR, great video 👍🏼
I like it too. I am glad that we have a similar taste. Thanks for watching bro.
Had an early 80's R65...Lovely bike.
Would agree. :) Lovely machines. Thanks for tuning in. Did you check my Trip to Romania Series? :)
Beautiful
Thanks a lot. Appreciate your support John.
lots of interesting features
Yes Jody. From the mechanical cruise control and being without the kick start... to the key location. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it. Hope you are doing well and Tommy too.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace thank you .. Busy with farm stuff
@@PurpleOnThree I get it. It is always a lot to do.
Nice. A friend had a R75 and another has a R90s. I had a Guzzi and a Harley.
Thanks for the comment bro. All great machines.
Great looking bike, my dad always liked the look of them but never owned one. I'd love to own one some time
This is just so classy. I agree about owning one. Thanks for stopping by mate. Appreciate it. Cheers.
0:32 that's the "Beamtenschraube" 😂, a friction lock for the throttle. Designed for for German police officers who complained about the force it needed to hold the throttle open over large distances.
Thanks bro. Appreciate your comment. A great feature. Really. Cheers. Merry Christmas.
A classic Gregor 😎👍
Exactly BB. The one that you can ride every day. Thanks for stopping by bro.
The key on the left side of the headlight is interesting.
That is something that stands out, I agree on that. Sure. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace 👍👍👍
I want an Airhead so bad! I can't find them for less than like 5k
It is a keeper. Would like to have one too bro. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate it.
Hello sir ........I have a 1974 R60/6 also...if I may ask did you restore it? if so what electronic system did you use please or was it standard in that year. and one final question where did you get those engine bars from there awesome. thank you .....Pip
Thanks for tuning in bro. Appreciate it. This is the bike of one of my friends. Will ask him tomorrow and let you know. No problem bro. :) You can check my other videos and subscribe if you like them. Thanks a lot. :) Cheers.
I called him. The electricity is still stock. The bike was sitting in a garage for more than 20 years. About the engine bars. Those are stock. He said that you can buy replicas, but on his bike are stock. Anyway I plan to film another very nice machine that he has. I hope that I answered you. :) Cheers.
ty
Zanimiv motor.
Ima kar nekaj posebnosti, med drugim mehanski tempomat. :)
To je nemski motor.
Še iz tistih pravih časov, brez elektronike. :) Hvala za komentar.
Are these bikes, the 6 series, solide relaible bikes?
Yes, they are. The owner also confirmed it.
@@RRRRefuelRideRace im getting one i think😃
@@selimilkin7396 Cool. I think that you will like it.
pretty quiet until you revved it
This is so true. In lower revs it is hard to hear it. :)
@@RRRRefuelRideRace gotcha!
@@PurpleOnThree Cool. 👍🤪
I don’t ride motorcycles but if I did, they would be BMW airheads.
Yes, they are special. :) Great taste, Thanks for tuning in.
Stvarno jedna ljepota! Predivno, prekrasno!
Drago mi je Boris. Slažem se. Evo, možeš pogledat i sve ostale videe na playlisti "Vintage beauties". :) I zaprati ako ti se dopade. Hvala, stvarno.
