BMW R 80 Greenpoint Toaster Aims for Scrambled Elegance, Hits the Bullseye. Published: 30 Oct 2024, 19:30 UTC • By: Silvian Secara. 11 photos. Photo: Bryant Carmona via Pipeburn.
The BMW “Toaster” has taken its place on the floor of The Orphanage and can be viewed from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, closed Mondays.
BMW estimates that charging speed and range will increase by 30 percent, while energy density is going up by 20 percent. These sixth-generation batteries will power your toaster and whatnot.
To be exact, what you’re seeing here is a pristine 1973 BMW R75/5 that packs numbers-matching componentry, a toaster-style fuel chamber, and a youthful pair of Avon Roadrider tires.
