Having a hard time finding a nice motorcycle?MOTOGROTTO makes it happen.Here's the alternative...



Sorry, no joyrides!This professional spokesperson shall explain why...

Let's face it,my customers really don't want some inexperienced yahoo thrashing around on the bike while they are bidding on it now do they???


Here is an email from the BMW Archives in Germany verifying the vin and model.


Thank you for your email.

The BMW R 69 VIN 653601 was manufactured on January 20th, 1958 and delivered on May 24th, 1958 to the BMW importer Butler & Smith in New York City. The bike was equipped with a bench seat.

We hope this information is helpful for you.

Yours sincerely,

Andreas Harz
BMW Group Archiv

Please do not ask me the reserve.It is quite reasonable and will be revealed automatically when it is met.Thank you.

Remember 1959... it was a very good year. The 1959 Les Paul Sunburst Guitar is one of the most valuable and desirable guitars of all time.


On Sep-24-13 at 22:02:56 PDT, seller added the following information:

John Penton rode a BMW R69 to break the transcontinental record from New York City on june 8,1959 to Los Angeles in 52 hours 11 minutes 1 second.He stopped for a 45 minute nap along the way on his stock black bike which had a borrowed larger gas tank from his brother's white R69.

2014 BMW K1600GTL Exclusive Outed in CARB Documents

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Earlier this summer, BMW announced its 2014 six-cylinder K1600GT including a new variant called the K1600GT Sport. A new document released by the California Air Resources Board reveals the more luxurious K1600GTL may be getting its own special variant as well. CARB released a new executive order for its 2014 K16 models including the K1600GTL Exclusive alongside the regular K1600GTL and the K1600GT.

2023 BMW M 1000 R Review - First Ride

Thu, 15 Dec 2022

Excessive excellence Credit: Photos by BMW Motorrad/Markus Jahn and Jörg Künstle Nothing succeeds like excess – and by concocting the 2023 M 1000 R (or “MR” as they’d like us to call it), BMW is doing its best to confirm the truth of that axiom in a two-wheeled context. How else to characterize a Naked-as-Nature straight-Four hotrod with upright handlebar and no screen, which has a 14,600 rpm redline and produces a claimed 206.5 hp at 13,750rpm, with claimed peak torque of 83.3 lb-ft at 11,000rpm, that has a homologated/proven top speed of 174 mph and weighs just 438.7 lbs with all liquids, including a full 4.4-gallon tank of fuel? Consider that just a decade ago the factory S1000RR Superbike racer which BMW’s works riders Troy Corser and Leon Haslam raced in the 2011 WSBK series produced 216 bhp at 14,900 rpm, and it’s clear that the new MR super-roadster is a statement of intent that can’t be ignored.

2013 BMW C600 Sport Recalled in Canada for Loose Fairings

Tue, 04 Dec 2012

BMW‘s maxi-scooters have only just started going on sale in North America and already there’s a recall for the 2013 BMW C600 Sport in Canada. According to Transport Canada, the fairing side panels on certain BMW C600 Sport scooters can loosen and detach while moving at very high speeds. In such a situation, the detached fairing poses a hazard to the rider and passenger as well as other vehicles and bystanders.
