That's a BMW- you can tell by the transverse cylinders (God I'm so anal when it comes to bikes!!What makes this bike then?![]()

Cossack's rust faster than anything but never fall apart. Seems to be a feature of Eastern European/ Russian bikes (CZ being a prime example).Maybe. It doesn't show it's age in the picture but I could tell by the rust etc that it was very old. It's most likely a BMW R71 or possibly a Cossack that was based on the R71 design.
Here's a nice example of a R71 http://www.pwbrowning.com/r71/index.html
So what BMW is it?That's a BMW- you can tell by the transverse cylinders (God I'm so anal when it comes to bikes!!)
So lets see if I have this right? The bike that looks old is fairly new and the bike that looks new is very old?Looks like a (very) old R75S if I'm not very much mistaken (although in all fairness I probably am!)
Now you are really confusing me.No mate- the R75S has been around longer than me DadAt least the model name has!
The first pic Warren,(if it's yours) is it in Figueretas? I've often seen it leaning on a plant tub there,looks the same...It's good to know it's still around.
Correct.The first pic Warren,(if it's yours) is it in Figueretas? I've often seen it leaning on a plant tub there,looks the same...
Correct.
You get nothing for that one, mate. Consider it up a warm up.coconut or goldfish ?
Now you are really confusing me.
This looks new but is actually very old is what you are saying?
