Tamiya item 16005 - BMW R75 5 - 1/6 scale Motorcycles Vehicles assembly kit
The 1970 model year, BMW established three amazing models having engine capabilities of 500 cc (R50/5), 600 cc (R60/5), and 750 cc (R75/5). The R75/5 could achieve 110 miles hourly (177 km/h). The "slash-5" series appeared simply ultimately to meet up the increasing fascination with sport bikes. All so-called "/5" models were manufactured at BMW's factory in Spandau suburb of Berlin, BMW having sent all bike production here from Munich on belated 1960s. BMW had stopped manufacturing in Munich for the past Slash-2 models, making use of their Earles forks, kick beginners, 6 volt electric systems, antiquated brake system, and frames descended from pre-war BMWs to be used with sidecars.
