BMW R-Series description
For sale is my 1968 R50S. This equates to a 500cc version of the R69S. A rare model. It runs and rides superbly. I have receipts for over $12,000.
Work done and parts included, but not restricted to, Stage 1 Bonneville Heads ($1250). Crankshaft rebuild ($1000) with new rods, pins, bearings, cages, balanced and trued. Lightened and balanced flywheel ($300). New clutch pressure ring, friction disk, spring pressure plate and diaphragm spring ($385). New Slinger. Late style rear main bearing carrier ($176). A "328" camshaft ($275). Carb rebuild kit ($125). New R50S pistons from Brooks Motor Works ($450). Full set of engine bearings ($160). Carbs modified to 26mm ($250). Petcocks. Set of 4x 4130 Chrome-Moly pushrods. Magneto assembly ($400). Wiring harness, Speedometer work. Transmission rebuild bearings and seals. S Air filter and housing and much more! Low miles since all this work was performed. Matching frame and engine numbers. . Although the bike is a 1968 model it has all the modifications for an early 1960's R50S. It is the 35 HP engine as apposed to the larger but less powerful 30 HP R60! It is quite quick for a 500cc and likes to spin a bit. Very smooth and idles superbly. Very quiet motor and no leaks. As seen in the photo it has a HUGE (8 gallon?) Hoske gas tank in real nice condition, no dents or scratches. A Denfeld folding rear carrier and pillion seat and period rear travel cases on both sides. Mufflers real nice and has the original paintwork on the bike. Original Instruction manual and tool kit. A real nice tire pump and I believe what is a Bates screen. Although the bike is not quite up to Museum quality cosmetically, it is in real nice condition and goes very well! Bike can be collected in Western North Carolina. I will assist in any shipping but the cost to be paid by the buyer. Genuine reason for sale. Start price is $11,000 with no reserve! I will accept a $500 deposit with paypal but the rest must be cash or cashiers check and must be cleared before the bike is released. It has a clean Florida Certificate of Title signed by the previous owner ready to be transferd to the new owner.. Email me with any questions. |
