Description

  1967 CJ 750 M1. This bike is absolutely primitive in every wonderful way. Experience the feeling of owning a 1930's BMW without spending tens of thousands of dollars! Body is in about as perfect shape as possible, This bike runs great! Starts on the first kick! I understand that they all leak a little oil, but hey I'll include a whole tote of spare parts, gaskets, accessories I did not want to use, etc.This 1967 CJ 750 has a 6v Positive ground electrical system, points based distributor, and only a kickstart. I have a lot of paperwork that goes along with it, from the former owner's personal correspondence with the US and Chinese embassies to import the bike, to all the research paperwork from the former owner's attempted restoration that I completed. I am of the understanding that the original owner worked for the embassies, or some other such thing in the 60's or 70's and brought this home. Whatever the story is, there is some interesting paperwork, and original plates and registration. It has a clean title, and Washington state registration.Per online articles:There are quite a few motorcycle manufacturers with murky histories, but few are as clouded by the passage of time as Chang Jiang. The lineage of this bike can be traced back to the 1938 BMW R71, which was copied by the Soviets and released in 1942 as the IMZ M72. Come the mid-50s, the Soviets sold the tooling for the M72 to China, and a few years later the Chang Jiang 750 appeared.The motor is an air-cooled 746cc boxer—in true BMW style—CJ750[edit]The CJ750 motorcycle is based on the original 1956 Soviet IMZ (Irbitski Mototsikletniy Zavod) M-72 which itself was derived from the earlier German 1938 BMW R71. Nearly all of them have sidecars. They are often erroneously referred to as BMW "replicas" when, in fact, they are derivatives of the IMZ M-72.Production began in the late 1950s or early 1960s. (Different sources cite different dates.) They were originally produced for the Chinese military and are powered by an air-cooled, four-stroke, opposed flat-twin engine displacing 746cc. The rear wheel is shaft-driven.The most common models are:The M1 which has a sidevalve (flathead) engine and a 6V electrical system. This model is a clone of the M72 and closely resembles the 1938 BMW R71.
