Re: New to BMW's
Nice survivor 1973 R75/5...it isn't a 1963 model. Yours appears to be what they call a Short Wheel Base bike...mid model year 1973, so maybe in the spring of 1973, they lengthened the swing arm by around 50mm. Duane Ausherman's page discusses the short and long wheel base differences:

Fast. Neat. Average. Friendly. Good. Good.
