What a beautiful description of a beautiful bike. Keep her as original as possible an let her show her age. Rusty bolts and saggy "upholstery" add to her beauty, keep her as she is. Thanks for shearing.

Mine ‘73 Granada Red. Toaster tank. Low bars. Headlight mounted horns. Bar end mirrors. Owned it 40 years and then my MD said no more. Now it’s gone to a good home.

I inherited a r75/5 and a r69 from my father, the r69 was stolen just before i take it back from the street where it was parked and the r75/5 is now renovated and has a lovely sound

I owned a 1971 R60/5, the first '71 to arrive in the shop I was dealing with. It was Bill's Cycle Shop and I think it was in Canastota, NY....probably long out of business. It was a great machine and I had it equipped with a handlebar dog bone to move them back a little, a luggage rack, a Califia fairing, Wixom bags and an Ez Berg saddle. Yep, I loved it.

Nice bike! Nice details! Very original except the mufflers, but even this is ok on a used bike from this period as the original mufflers were not available all times. Mine is exactly from the same time, but a german model.(Km/h and no side-reflectors) See the details: left mirror mount (there was no right mirror originally) smooth leather on seats with two handles, there was no side cover in 71, even the slightly different headlamp-paint is original! note the hinge of the tank-cap is in front. the 71 model still had the short wheelbase that was sometimes a little bit tricky at high speed. Please, dont restore it, simply replace the rusty screws and bolts, install correct mufflers, and everything is good!

I’ve got a 72 toaster. You got a nice find! But I think the tank and fenders have been repainted, otherwise they’d match the slightly dull paint of the headlight bucket and frame. Also, that’s probably a new chrome ring around the lamp, otherwise it’d have the same scarring that’s only the bucket. My bike had the same thing when I bought it in 1991: repainted tank and front fender, original headlight, frame and rear fender.

I had stability problems with my 1970 model. Similarly, the 71 has the short swing arm that seemed to be the cause. I thing they lengthened the swing arm in 72. On the 72 you can see the extension that was welded to the swing arm to cure the problem. Still, I drool over my love affair with that R75/5. Interestingly, with shorty bars mounted, the bike would stabilize noticeably when, at speed, I would lay flat on the tank. Comments???

I bought a new 1970 R60/5. On my way to school one day, on the freeway, the bike went into a violent speed wobble, and spit me onto the roadway. I slid down the road on my butt, with the bike across my lap. Took six weeks to heal enough that I wouldn't break open the scab when sitting down. I love the looks of that first model /5 and the quietness when tooling around town. Tried to get back on one, but now, they all feel unstable to me. I don't know that the extended swing arm models made any difference.
