    A few rusty guesses here: Probably a /6 frame. 900cc by the look of the carburetor, Dellorto's came on the R90s. Spin on oil filter/lines added. Looks like an 18 inch rear wheel, with a front tire mounted. /7 timing chain and valve cover.? Frame brace. K+N air filter. (riding in the rain much?) Foot pegs moved rear-ward. Aftermarket "clip on" bars. Good power, good brakes...for an airhead. Looks like fun times in the city!

        My knee jerk reply would have been r90 s, but the fairing is different. The engine looks more minimalistic too. Sick bike, those rearsets might not make for long comfy rides, but then again cafe racers aren't intended for long comfy rides.

          It had BMW emblems all over so it definitely was neither of the two.
          And it has a boxer engine, the biggest give away

            I'm going with R75/6 with a /7 tank. This is NOT a toaster tank airhead. toaster tanks are small and have chrome decorative plates on the sides that look like toaster vents. This is the 5 gal tank from a /7 or later moder (post 1977). It has a kickstart so it can't be later than 1977. Clearly is not a stock model with an after market fairing, seat, unoriginal tank, and dual discs up front. Only the R90S has dual discs up front and he would likely not have put a different fairing on it since the original 90S fairing is extremely similar.

            The real question here is who builds scaffolding with duct tape?

                why have you not bought that? Mine is very similar.

                  Only because I don't want to drive the 4 hours to go get it, and I know I'd hack it to shit if I did. It deserves to stay together, and I deserve to continue looking for one in a little less desirable condition.

                    Wow, that's reasonably priced too... when I actually grow a pair I'll give the whole motorcycle thing a go.

                        So awesome. I love cafe racers. I bet it would look cooler without the fairing

                          Hello !

                          I think it's BMW R75 model but I am little confused because I have checked the same look moto Guzzi model at caferacerforsale website!

                          So I am not sure whether it's Moto Guzzi or BMW!
