Can anyone identify this bike please?

I saw this on a Vimeo video for 'Edwin' jeans. The fairing looks great.

It's a toaster tanked /5 with a cut down seat. I think it looks great. It's a blitz motorcycles bike.

heres another /5 with a toaster tank http://www.bikeexif.com/bmw-r75-lwb

Sorry, that fairing is feckin' awful - rest is nice though !!

As Rob said it's a toaster /5 series. Judging by the carbs I would suggest it is a 75/5 750cc.

The one in the GSTourer's link is a R60/5

If it's a 60/5 it has had its carbs changed. Only the 75 had diaphgram carbs. 60/5 and 50/5 had slide carbs.

Those look like 40mm bings to me. Could be almost anything though as all the parts are interchangeable.

We are both right then, it's an R60 with a R75 engine fitted.

I'd be worried about cooling. Doesn't look like there's any air flow to the cylinders.

You soft Southerners wouldn't know about growing facial hair I suppose.

In my case you are certainly right!!!

There seems to be some sort of air scoop arrangement at the front, but it's sure to be compromised, esp. at low speed.
