BMW, maker of high-quality cars and motorcycles, debuted their R75/5 in 1969 as their top-of-the-line modern motorcycle. While the basic engine and gearbox layout remained the same, many changes were made to the suspension, frame, and electrical systems, resulting in a new high-performance modern motorcycle.

After their success with the R75/5, world-renowned automobile and motorcycle maker BMW sensationally announced its replacement, the R90S, in 1973. BMW's signature air-cooled 2-cylinder boxer engine received a boost in displacement to 898cc and stopping power was also improved with a front twin disc brake system.
