Replacements for the '/5' range, the BMW '/6' series arrived in October 1973. The newcomers were more sportily styled than the outgoing '/5s', boasting new side-panels and silencers together with totally restyled controls and instruments. Like their predecessors, the three '/6' flat twins shared an identical stroke; the 500cc model though, had been dropped in favour of the new 600cc R60/6, while at the top of the range was a new 900cc superbike: the R90S. Apart from the new styling, the presence of a disc front brake readily distinguished the '/6's, which also benefited from the new five-speed gearbox. Introduced in the autumn of 1976, the '/7' models updated the '/6' series that had been in production for the preceding three years. The R90S-shape fuel tank (adopted across the range) and redesigned rocker covers were distinguishing features of a line-up that consisted of the R60/7, R75/7 and a trio of new R100 models: the R100/7, R100S and R100RS. An ex-police model from Ghana, this R60/7 was first registered in the Netherlands in 1999 and currently displays a total of 43,972 kilometres on the odometer. The machine is offered with old and current Netherlands registration papers. An Ghana in Afrika als Polizeimotorrad geliefert, wurde die R60/7 erstmals in den Niederlanden im Jahr 1999 zugelassen. Der angezeigte Kilometerstand beträgt 43,972 km. Sie wird mit gültigen niederländische Fahrzeugpapieren versteigert.
