Desperado All 1955 Motorcycles

1955 BMW R50 I have owned this BMW for many years and I used to use it all the time. Several times I put on more that 800 miles in a weekend. However, I haven't used it in several years due to work and a new family.

Offered for sale is this very complete and original 1955 BMW R50 twin, ready for restoration. The early Earles fork bikes are a very special blend of the R51, R67 & R68 bikes that came before them, along with the more robust frame and fork that went with the new styling. This is a matching engine/frame/frame ID tag bike with matching title, ready to transfer into the new owners name.  This bike has virtually all the unique 1st year/early features that make it so special: ·        * One year only aluminum rims and hubs with early style bearing retainers ·        * Early rear fender with small tail light holes ·        * Original Eber small tail light         * O* Early front fender with no center brace ·        * Early plunger-style Knecht air filter ·        * Small battery tray ·        * 32/11 rear drive in un-vented case ·        * Small headlight brackets ·        * Dished headlight with early speedo In addition, the original solo seat "T" bar bracket and rear fender rack are there.
