about 10 years ago i bought one of these-- a 1975 bmw 60/6, but mine was silver. fausto came with me to check it out when i bought it, and for that reason alone i wish i still had it. it ran so nice, was really fun to ride. i bought it when i lived in the burbs and loved riding it through the hills and the country lanes, but when i moved to SF i felt like i was about to get smashed at every turn, people just didn't see me on it in the city, so i sold it. used the money to buy a 1976 bmw 2002 car, which turned out to be the worst thing i ever bought. paid $2000 for it, a year later i'd put $6000 more into fixing it (including a new engine) over and over, and sold it for $2000. always kinda wished i'd just kept the bike, but probably would have sold it by now anyhow. still love looking at cool bikes, but don't plan on owning another one anytime soon.
