Most every"R75" you see here in germany is a fake. Or maybe the frame is real, the rest Ural. Or anything in between. I know two people with a real R75. Both spent mega bucks to restore them. One guy twice. The first time he let someone do it for him, and got ripped off. 6 years later he found someone to help him do it. Its right! Oh is it fine. The other guy went to Poland, (work related trips) and started buying parts and junk bikes. Took him 10 years to make one. He also went to East germany right after the wall fell and bought a Ural from a russian "officer". Who it was is anyone's guess. But what a nice bike! If he drives it to the Bike and Music Festivel, (first weekend of Aug.) this year, I will take pictures. And yes, you can still find treasures here. My son has a 1938, BMW R23, 250CC he found in the attic of a mill, near Nürnburg. He got it, another for parts and a 1954 Victoria KR125 BI-FIX for 1,200 euro. He parked the R23 in front of his desk and will not restore it. I want to ride that dude before I die!
