French Moto Guépard Model 1972
This is a very well-built machine, and it's worth noting that the French Gendarmerie was equipped with 60/5s among others. It's a good machine compared to the 75/5, with which it shares the chassis and running gear, as well as the low engine, and the console is reasonable at 5/6 per cent while respecting speed limits. As for the brakes, make sure you choose the right linings (for bite) and don't hesitate to redo the steel circles on the drums when they're out of order! Riding technique and safety distances are imperative if you want to be able to stop it (use engine braking with downshifting to 1st gear if necessary, with both brakes fully applied for emergency braking). I ride the 75/5, but it's all the same (same brakes, chassis, suspension and tires). Kind regards V. Rating : 4/5

Hello bikers and yes at 18 I had already restored a BMW r60 Bar 5 at the time it was so rare and everyone laughed but who has never tasted a bmw he can not know the pleasure of riding j\'ai searched and j\'ai retrouvé a motorcycle from my youth I'm in the process of dismantling it completely to restore it to my era 32 years ago, but I need a few details I need parts to put it back together properly but the prices are a bit excessivethe salt on this bike seems a bit oddcould you tell me if it had a small rubber cone to cushion the saddle closure because the Bilbo saddle is a bit Bilbo would you have more detailed photos of the saddle design above and below the saddle design address to repaint it and make a piping I would like to find a pars book to find my parts easier and orders and of course from you or BMW send me the details of the yearsme the details of the years 1973 what kind of salt did it have at the time of origin because here on mine it has a cover but a little strange could you send me photos and details of the saddle above and below many thanks and see you soon greetings to you Rating : 5/5

Hello
I've just retired my old r60/5, but as I've been riding my r1200rt and f800gt lately, I didn't know how good the braking was. Fortunately, the flat has good compression, which helps me stop.
i changed the jaws but it was no use. It's a pity, but we'll have to make do
Bonne continuation Rating : 4/5
