You could try contacting a BMW owners group. There's BMW Club of Northern California in the Bay Area and River City Beemers in Sacramento.

I would think that would be a little high for the not. As you say, money pits. Not running I would expect it to be more like $800-1000.
Silver, I may know someone interested in it if it's in that range. :thumbup

try the Marketplace at IBMWR.org
should have non-CV carbs on it which is kind of neat...
I thought you wanted to see how little it would take to get it running..

An R75/6?
Running, in fair to good condition, $2500-up
Running, rough looking/needs tinkering $1500-$2500
Not running, $1500 or less, depending on condition of finish, seats, etc. +how much work to get it running.

Carlo, a 60/6. cherry, maybe $4000. not the most sought after model.
Yep. My not running R75/5, which is more desirable, couldn't even fetch 1k here on BARF. I decided to keep it and spend the 5k-6k to restore it. Expensive parts.
A not running R60/6? Maybe $800-$1000 if it can be made to be a runner without a complete restoration.

I've been told that the SWB is stable if set up properly - it just all needs to be properly aligned. Can't say how true that is though.

Decent resources for "that era" BMW twins:

Dick Sullivan in Oakland,
Recommended Service in San Francisco.
Most dealers don't work much on the airheads any more.
For the year listed, this would be a LWB, not SWB. The transition was in the /5s, and was/is fixable.

Or, you leave it SWB, put on a steering damper, bump up the timing a half degree, fab a lower seat, dosh up the suspension and have a cool little canyon bike.
I STILL thought OP was just looking for someone to putt out to Tracy and tell 'em whats what with it...could be a 5k OM, you know?:rolleyes
I got 60k or so on this one, and still figuring it out...
