I wonder if the R75/6 has the torque characteristics of the R90/6.

If the add was for an 1976 R90/6, with a dual disc set up in that condition, and mileage, I would be definitely be calling @ that price.

That's a fake---BMW hasn't done an air-cooled, inline 4. The opposed, flat-twin toaster didn't work out that well, either (my spouse complained that it scattered a lot bread in various directions), so it was discontinued.

I wouldn't go that far. Attending college and consorting with hippies and other unconforming types, I came to challenge authority, if for no other reason than just because.

Of course Toaster BMW''s hadn't been invented then, but if they had been I would likely have called them toasters, if for no reason than I liked the way it rolled off the tongue. And if some self anointed authority had taken me to task I would have told them to "fuck off"! (also an unapproved term)

Yeah, because that's how people react when they're called on something, nowadays. "So, what're you gonna do about it?"

I guess I'm relegated to not calling toasters toasters because I don't own firearms. Well, at least, I won't be able to say "Fuck Off" if challenged. So, I'll get it out of my system. Toaster. Toaster. Toaster. Hah!
