    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.

    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.

    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.
