Bmw r60 us
In 68-69 BMW was having trouble selling that stodgy old R60/2 with the heavy Earles Forks. So they started upgrading. The first and most obvious change was the "new" telescoping forks. They became the basis of the yet to be introduced /5 series of bikes. The bike was designated the R60 US. They only made 1400 or so of them. The bikes still were heavy and underpowered. No oil filter. Heavy flywheel. Kixstart. All that changed with the /5 bikes. The rest is history.
