When the modified /7 Series was launched in 1976, BMW once again marketed a traditional 750 cc model. Like its smaller R 60/7 sister model, the BMW R 75/7 was fitted with a new elegant 24 litre tank equipped with the new recessed safety tank filler pipe and the new front wheel mudguard with no strut. The R 75/7 shared the fate of the R 60/7 and was discontinued from the range after a production run of just two years so as not to compete with a smaller BMW Boxer Series within BMW's own product range.
