Beautifully Restored BMW R71 Tribute!

This 1938 BMW R71 Tribute (1968 Chang Jiang CJ750, titled as a 1968 Jian) captures the style and attitude of one of the most iconic pre-war motorcycles ever produced. Restored in 2008, it features a 750cc twin-piston flathead engine with dual carburetors and a 4-speed transmission with reverse gear, giving it the mechanical character riders love in a vintage motorcycle. The open driveshaft and dual exhaust add to its period-correct feel.

Finished in black with red pinstriping, the bike sits on chrome wire-spoke wheels with BMW motorcycle badging, just as it would have in the era. The double tubular steel cradle frame and telescopic fork stay true to the original R71 design, helping this tribute look right at home among classic motorcycles.

The matching sidecar features black leather seating, a full spare tire, a chrome luggage rack, and a rear storage compartment, adding real touring capability. With the electric starter and comfortable riding position, this tribute blends old-world charm with easy usability. For anyone looking for a vintage motorcycle for sale that offers unmistakable R71 presence, this beautifully finished machine is a standout!
