You have a 60/7 which is a 600 cc. Look up R 60/7 its like the 75 or the 80. I ride an R100 they are great bikes.

Since the weather is so rubbish, restoration seems like a good idea.
Good luck.

For spares see www.motorworks.co.uk, they're the BMW experts in the UK.
I've been using them for years for my K100LT.
They know their stuff and aren't afraid to share it.
Good luck and welcome to the world of BMW motorbikes!

Don't you think you should have done your research BEFORE you bought it...?
