Towards the end of the 1960s, the imminent arrival of the first generation of superbikes posed a threat to manufacturers. BMW responded with the introduction of a revised range of machines in 1970. Typed the /5 series and offered in 500, 600 and 750cc capacities, they marked a considerable change in approach for the Bavarian concern. The Earles type front forks that had characterised the earlier models were replaced by telescopic items and a new pivoted fork frame was employed. The engines were completely redesigned with journal-type bearings replacing the roller and ball units fitted in the bottom end.
Appearing to be very original and unmolested and complete with spare keys, 'KVT' is reported to be in running order, although the vendor advises the usual check over prior to use. Complete with a V5C that records 4 previous keepers and bearing a Stoke on Trent 'VT' registration, 'KVT' is reputed to have been in single-family ownership from new, unfortunately, there is no supportive paperwork with the machine. An excellent opportunity to acquire a 'drum-brake boxer BMW' with a very realistic estimate.
