BMW R60 Olive
The donor machine here is a ‘76 BMW R60/7 which was in a miserable condition when we retrieved it.
Because the owner has just obtained his motorcycle driving license, he is limited in terms of power.
We chose the 600 cc engine for this reason, being certain still that once he will be over the first 2 years of riding (and therefore be allowed to ride a more powerful machine), he will stick to this one. For good.
